Elodea respires in both the light and the dark. However, the rate of repiration exceeds the rate of photosynthesis when the plants are kept in the dark.

Why is Elodea placed in both flasks?

Elodea is placed in both flasks to show how aquatic plants release oxygen during photosynthesis. By comparing the presence of bubbles in the light and absence of bubbles in the dark, one can observe the effect of light on the process of photosynthesis in Elodea.


What would your hypothesis be regarding how the pH color of the water will change as you expose Elodea to light What about in the dark?

When the elodea is in the light it will do photosynthesis, and a product of this is CO2 . Some of the CO2 reacts with the water to become carbonic acid. This causes the water to be more acidic. When the plant is in the dark it respirates to get energy from the sugars it has produced. A product of this is O2 gas, which makes water more neutral. Depending on the pH test used the color will be different.


Why is light reaction of photosynthesis essential for the dark reaction to proceed?

why light reaction of photosynthesis is essential before the dark reaction can procced?


Do plants need more light or dark?

light = photosynthesis !


What are the comparison of light and dark reaction of photosynthesis?

i dont no the answer


Can photosynthesis happen during nighttime?

yes,there are two reactions the light dependent and the light independent.pen the light independent is the reaction where the photosynthesis happen nighttime.


What will happen to the elodea sprigs if it is kept in the dark for 3 weeks?

If elodea sprigs are kept in the dark for three weeks, they will likely experience reduced photosynthesis due to the lack of light. As a result, the plants may become weak, lose their vibrant green color, and eventually die if the dark conditions persist, as they won't be able to produce the energy needed for growth and survival. Additionally, the sprigs may begin to deplete their stored energy reserves, leading to further deterioration.


What are the two faces of photosynthesis?

light face and dark face.Actually it is phase not face. They are light reaction and dark reatcion


Can photosynthesis occur in the dark?

No, photosynthesis cannot occur in the dark because it requires light as an essential component for the process to take place.


Which part of photosynthesis can occur even when there is no light?

That is the dark reaction. It needs no light


Does photosynthesis have to happen in the dark?

No, photosynthesis requires light to occur. Plants use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This process takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells during daylight hours.
