3. Asstudent set up the apparatus shown in Fig. 3.1 to investigate the effect of catbon dioxide concentration on the rate of photosynthesis of a pond plant The student used five similar pieces of pond plant and five different concentrations of sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO:) solution, which provides the carbon dioxide. The student counted the number of bubbles produced by the pond plant over a period of five minutes. sodium hydrogen movable lamp carbonate solution thermometer 0 ruler —!? on (a) Explain how the student made cure that the results were due only to the change in carbon dioxide concentration, eucLes 20 os10a208N007 ‘The student repeated the investigation at each concentration and calculated the rate of Photosynthesis.
