By-product of photosynthesis in plant cells

Oxygen (O2\text{O}_2)

Cells doing most photosynthesis in C3 plants

Mesophyll cells

Why trapped oxygen makes leaves buoyant

Oxygen accumulates in air spaces within leaf tissue

Why sodium bicarbonate is used in experiment

Provides source of CO2\text{CO}_2 for photosynthesis

Independent variable in light colour experiment

Colour (wavelength) of light

Dependent variable in this experiment

Rate of photosynthesis (time for 5 discs to rise)

Control group in light colour experiment

Beaker with cling wrap (white light, no filter)

What shorter times for disc floating indicate

Faster/higher rate of photosynthesis

Where light-dependent reactions occur

Thylakoid membranes

Where light-independent reactions occur

Stroma
