    1. Give hypotheses for oxygen production and usage during each of photosynthesis and respiration. (4 pts)

      1. photosynthesis

      2. respiration

    2. Based on these hypotheses, predict when (e.g. during “day” and/or “night”) the bubble will move toward or away from the test tube in each experiment. (2 pts)

    3. How far (in mm) did the bubble move during the “daytime” (photosynthesis and respiration)? How far (in mm) did the bubble move during the “night” (respiration only)?

        photosynthesis + respiration ("day") respiration only ("night")
      initial    
      final    
      distance moved (use + or -)    

      If the Elodea had not been respiring during photosynthesis, how far would the edge have moved? (Tell exactly how far, i.e., a number with \(+\) or \(-\).) Please show your math! (5 pts)

    4. Why exactly do plants carry out photosynthesis? When do plants photosynthesize (day, night)? (2 pts)

    5. Why exactly do plants carry out respiration? When do plans respire (day, night)? (2 pts)
