    Biology Hydrilla Experiment Report (Ilham Aryasena)

    The experiment aimed to observe the rate of oxygen bubble production from hydrilla plants in light and dark conditions. Few bubbles were produced in the dark, as photosynthesis and oxygen release require sunlight. Many more bubbles were observed when the hydrilla was placed in sunlight, indicating photosynthesis was occurring and oxygen was being released. The results supported the theory that plants need sunlight for photosynthesis to take place and oxygen to be a byproduct.

    Photosynthesis demonstration: Oxygen Release

    Aim

    To see how many bubbles hydrilla plants made in bright and dark places.
    Apparatus

    Test tube
    Pen/Pencil
    Literature
    Cupboard
    Materials

    Hydrilla plant
    Water
    Alcohol
    Procedure

    1.
    2.
    3.
    4.

    Clean the test tube and put water inside it.


    Put the hydrilla plant inside the test tube.
    Make sure the hydrilla plant is inside the test tube.
    Wait for the bubble to come out from the hydrilla plant, and record the result
    every 5 minutes.
    5. Do it in the dark and bright places.
    Theory

    Plants need sunlight to do photosynthesis. Therefore, when theyre placed in the


    dark places they dont release much oxygen. When theyre placed near the sunlight
    they will produce a lot of oxygen (indicated by bubbles) because sunlight is what
    they needed to do photosynthesis.

    Photosynthesis demonstration: Oxygen Release


    Result

    When we put it in the dark places, there are almost no bubbles coming out in the
    water. Because not occur photosynthesis process until the oxygen not release or
    produce. But, when we put it under the sunlight it will produce a lot of bubbles as a
    sign of the oxygen formed.
    Analyze based on theory :
    Based on theory when the hydrilla doesnt get any sunlight, they wont produce
    much oxygen because sunlight is what they needed to do photosynthesis. When the
    hydrilla is placed under the direct sunlight, they will produce a lot of oxygen
    because they have got sunlight and they can do photosynthesis and release
    oxygen.
    Conclusion

    The plants needed sunlight so that they can produce oxygen. The photosynthesis
    process cant be done if they dont get any oxygen. So, it is better if we put our
    plants outside, so that we could get oxygen that is produced by them.

    Picture

    The data table of bubbles made every 5 minutes and the average.
