Each page of this lab that contains the symbol
should be inserted into your journal. After completing a lab page with the snapshot symbol, tap (in the upper right hand corner) to insert the page into your journal.
Note: You may want to take asnapshot of the first page ofthis lab as a cover page for your journal.
Lab Challenge• Do plants perform cellular respiration
in addition to photosynthesis?
Plant Respiration and Photosynthesis
BackgroundPhotosynthesis• The process of photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plants.
• Light is necessary for the entire photosynthesis process to occur.
• The formula for photosynthesis is:
6CO2 + 6H2O + LIGHT ENERGY ----> C6H12O6 + 6O2
• Carbon dioxide, water, and light are required to produce glucose and oxygen.

Self Check
1. If you were measuring carbon dioxide levels in a terrarium during photosynthesis, you would expect to see the levels ________.
a) increase
b) decrease
c) stay the same
Plant Respiration and Photosynthesis
...BackgroundCellular Respiration• The process of cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of ALL cells.
• Cellular respiration converts the glucose made by photosynthesis into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the energy source that is usable by cells.
• The formula for cellular respiration is:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 ----> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy (ATP molecules)
• Glucose and oxygen produce carbon dioxide, water and ATP.

Self Check2. If carbon dioxide levels were being monitored
inside a terrarium, you would expect to see an increase in CO2 levels when the plants were in ___________.
a) darkness
b) light
c) Canada
Plant Respiration and Photosynthesis
Safety• Follow all common lab safety procedures.
• Do not allow the CO2 sensor to get wet!
Plant Respiration and Photosynthesis
Materials and EquipmentCollect all of these materials before beginning the lab.
• PASPORT CO2 Gas Sensor• Sensor extension cable• Sampling bottle (included with the
sensor)• Large beaker or aquarium (to act
as a heat sink)
• Box or heavy cloth• Aluminum foil• Lamp, 100-watt• Mint plant• Water, 1 L

The steps to the left are part of the procedure for this lab activity. They are not in the right order. Determine the correct sequence of the steps, then take a snapshot of this page.
Sequencing Challenge
A. Cover the bottle with a box or cloth and record CO2 production in the dark.
B. Record CO2 production when the plant is exposed to the light.
C. Analyze the changes in CO2 production in dark vs. light.
D. Add several stems and leaves of a small plant into the sampling bottle.
Plant Respiration and Photosynthesis
Setup: Darkness1. Attach the Carbon Dioxide Gas Sensor to a
sensor extension cable and connect it to the SPARK Science Learning System.
2. Add 25 mL of water to the sample bottle.3. Gently push several stems of the plant into the
sampling bottle. Try to arrange the leaves so that they are facing outward.
4. Calibrate the sensor by pushing and releasing the green button on the sensor. When the green light in the button begins flashing again, the sensor is calibrated.

Prediction: GeneralQ1: Why do you think that water is needed in the sample bottle?
Plant Respiration and Photosynthesis
Q2: What do you think will happen to the CO2 level in the bottle while the plant is in the dark? Explain why.
Collect Data: Darkness
1. Place the CO2 Gas Sensor firmly into the sampling bottle.
2. Carefully cover the sample bottle with a box or heavy cloth to block out any light.
3. Tap to begin data collection.
4. Record data for 10 minutes and then tap to stop data collection.

Q2: What is the purpose of the aluminum foil?
Q3: What is the purpose of the beaker/ aquarium full of water?
Setup: Light1. Remove the cloth or box from the sampling bottle
and place the bottle on aluminum foil.
2. Place a large beaker of water or aquarium between the light source and the beaker.
3. Turn on the light source and wait 3 minutes to allow photosynthesis to begin.

Q4: What do you think will happen to the CO2 level in the bottle while the plant is in the light? Explain why.
Collect Data: Light
1. Tap to begin data collection.
2. Record data for 10 minutes and then tap to stop data collection.

Data AnalysisPlant Respiration and Photosynthesis
1. Determine the change in CO2 concentration for both runs, and record the information in the data table on the next page.
* To Find the Difference Between Two Data Points:
2. Tap to open the tools palette.
3. Tap and then tap two points on the data run.
4. Adjust using both buttons and then tap
5. Tap to display the differences.
Data Analysis2. Record the initial, final,
and change in CO2 concentration for all runs, in the data table to the left.
*To Enter Data into a Table: 1. Tap to open the tool
palette.2. Tap then tap a cell in the
data table to highlight it in yellow.
3. Tap to open the Keyboard screen.
