Factors Affecting Photosynthesis
Factors Affecting Photosynthesis
Factor Affecting Photosynthesis:
The various factors affecting photosynthesis are light, carbon dioxide, water etc.
Experiment to demonstrate that starch is formed during photosynthesis:
Pluck a healthy green leaf which was in the sunlight. Place it in a beaker containing boiling water for about two minutes. Now transfer the leaf to a beaker containing alcohol. Warm it over a water bath for a few minutes. You will observe that the leaf turns white, indicating that the chlorophyll has been removed. Now wash the leaf carefully in water without damaging it. Place the leaf in a dilute solution of iodine. This will turn the leaf bluish black. The changing of the leaf’s colour to bluish black after it has been treated with iodine solution shows that the leaf contains starch.
Experiment to demonstrate that carbon dioxide is essential for photosynthesis:
Get two healthy potted plants of almost the same size and place them in the dark for 24 hours to de- starch leaves. Now place them on a glass plate. Cover the plants with separate bell jars. Keep some crystals of potassium hydroxide (KOH) in a petri dish and place it under one of the jars. Make the set up airtight by applying Vaseline at the bottom of the bell jars. Keep the plants in sunlight for photosynthesis to take place. After 3 to 4 hours, pluck a leaf from each plant. Boil the leaves in water and subsequently in alcohol, using a water bath, to remove chlorophyll. Now use a few drops of iodine to test to starch in each leaf. Only one leaf turns blue black colour showing the presence of starch. This happens because KOH absorbs the CO2 present inside one bell jar. As a result, the leaves do not get CO2 for photosynthesis. Thus the process is inhibited and starch is not synthesized.
Experiment to show that sunlight is essential for photosynthesis:
Keep a potted plant in the dark for 24 hours. On one of the leaves, stick black paper strip (one below and one above the leaf) with the help of cello tape. Now, place this plant in sunshine for a few hours. Pluck the leaf and remove the black strips. Boil this leaf, first in water and then in alcohol, to remove chlorophyll. After washing the leaf with water, keep it in a petri dish. Add a few drops of iodine solution. The leaf turns blue- black except in the region that had been covered. This region did not receive light and hence no starch was formed. The uncovered region received light and starch was formed due to photosynthesis.

Students / Parents Reviews [10]
One of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.

10thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
Hiya Gupta
8thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
