Photosynthesis Lab

     Photosynthesis is the process of transferring light into nutrients. The chemical equation is  2n CO2 + 2n DH2 + photons → 2(CH2O)n + 2n DO. In this experiment we took sprigs of spruce and submersed them in to water. We then put baking soda and placed this under the light. We then watched the test tube for signs of photosynthesis. The water began to bubble and this showed photosynthesis.We then added phenol red to the test tube and covered it with tinfoil. Then we inserted a straw and blew into the straw and the solution turned yellow because of the carbon dioxide in the oxygen. When it is left int the dark it changed back to red.
