Chapter 5, Problem 5SA

Summary Introduction

To explain: The reason behind oxygen level measurement provides an indication rate of photoreaction and describes how the plant can use carbon dioxide provided by bicarbonate solution, as well as explain how increasing carbon dioxide source affects the rate of photoreaction in plants.

Introduction:

Photosynthesis is a biochemical process in which plants capture light energy and through a series of reactions produce organic energy molecules that later fuel the reactions of fixing atmospheric carbon dioxide and water into organic food molecules.
