Effect of Light Colour on Rate of Photosynthesis Experiment

In this photosynthesis experiment, we are going to determine the effect of different light colors on the rate of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the phenomena in which solar energy is converted into useful bond energy. Different wavelengths (monochromatic light) have different effect on the photosynthesis. This experiment is performed to identify those changes. Apparatus/Chemicals for Photosynthesis Experiment Beaker, (Water Plant)fresh Hydrilla shoots, ...

Water Holding Capacity of Soil Experiment

Soil experiment is used to test the water holding capacity of soil. The Amount of water retained and stored in a soil after watering and subsequent drainage is important in plant growth and hydrological studies. This storage capacity of the soil is called its water holding capacity. That part of the stored water can be subsequently being removed by a ...

Separation of Photosynthetic Pigments by Paper Chromatography Experiment

By using paper chromatography experiment we can determine more than one type of pigments are involved in the photosynthesis. Photosynthetic pigments carry out photosynthesis. Pigments (organic molecules) are separated by dissolving them in organic solvent and are separated by paper chromatography. In paper chromatography separation of the molecules is governed by the following points. Electrostatic forces of pigment molecules. Molecular ...

Benedicts Test Procedure

Benedicts test procedure is used to detect the presence of sugars present in any chemical. That’s why Sugars can be divided into reducing and non-reducing. This division is on the basis of their ability to react with any reducing agent. Reducing Sugars: All those sugars, which have actually or potentially free aldehyde or ketonic group are known as. Non-Reducing Sugars: ...
