to keep the test tube with the plant cool

why did we shine light through the beaker of water?

carbon dioxide and water

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

What is produced by photosynthesis?

wave properties

Which of the following are types of properties of light?

based on distance traveled up the chromatography paper, which pigment is the most non-polar pigment?

carotenoids

besides chlorophyll, what pigments are found in leaves?

PS II-light reactions

during photosynthesis, where is water split and oxygen released?

oxygen

what gas is released during light reactions of photosynthesis?

oxygen

what gas was bring produced in our test tube that made the water move up the tube?
