Elodea Lab Report

For this experiment, we need Elodea to measure the metabolic activates of the plant during the experiment. Three different beakers are required so that we could place the plant under three different temperature’s in water. Phenolphthalein is used to see the pH change of the water. We need lamp that could generate heat so that we get to know the activity of the plant under high temperature. We could either reduce the room temperature or place our plant under cool conditions to get our final readings.

For this experiment we could use a plant such as Elodea which can produce a very good amount of carbon dioxide under certain conditions. We could find the amount of CO2 yielded and consumed by the process of photosynthesis while placing the
