Set Photosynthesis

Function and Applications

The equipment set can be used to observe the process of photosynthesis and the dependencies on light intensity, wavelength of light, CO2 content and ambient temperature. The equipment set is designed for student experiments, but can also be used for demonstration purposes. The experiments are easy to carry out even for beginners and do not require sensors. Nevertheless, quantitative measurements can be made. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Experimental topics:

• Dependence of photosynthesis on light intensity
• Dependence of photosynthesis on the wavelength of light
• Dependence of photosynthesis on the CO2 content
• Dependence of photosynthesis on the ambient temperature
• Dependence of photosynthesis on the plant mass
• Detection of the oxygen produced by the plants
