Experiment: A water plant was placed in water with baking soda under sunlight. Bubble count was recorded over 30 minutes.Observation: More bubbles were released compared to water without baking soda.Question: What does this show?
Correct answer: A. Increased CO₂ from baking soda enhances photosynthesis.
- A. Increased CO₂ from baking soda enhances photosynthesis.
- B. Baking soda reduces light absorption.
- C. Bubbles are due to root respiration.
- D. CO₂ suppresses oxygen production.
Explanation
The experiment demonstrates that baking soda, by releasing CO₂ in water, boosts photosynthesis in the water plant. Photosynthesis requires sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide for glucose and oxygen production. The higher bubble count indicates increased oxygen production from photosynthesis. Therefore, Option A is correct. Option B is incorrect as baking soda does not impact light absorption. Option C is incorrect because bubbles mainly result from photosynthesis, not root respiration. Option D is incorrect because CO₂ is essential for photosynthesis and does not inhibit oxygen production.
