Students are preforming an experiment to study the role of light in photosynthesis. They place an Elodea plant into a large test tube with water and assemble a volumeter using a cork and calibrated glass tubing. Then, the apparatus is placed near a lamp. Soon after, the water level in the tubing begins to move upward. Why does the edge of the water move upward?
