    1) Learners conducted an experiment to test for photosynthesis in green leaves. They set up an apparatus with a leaf, water, test tube, and iodine solution. 2) After conducting tests by boiling the leaf in water and alcohol, then rinsing it, the leaf was placed in iodine solution. A positive test result for starch indicated photosynthesis had occurred. 3) In another experiment, learners blew bubbles into limewater through a straw. When the limewater became milky, this showed the presence of carbon dioxide and confirmed respiration.

    1.2.h How does sunlight affect the production of starch during photosynthesis? √√ (2)

    1.2.i Sunlight is needed√ in order for the plant to photosynthesise√ thus allowing the plant to
    produce starch√ (3)

    2.1.2 straw √

    2.1.3 test tube √

    2.1.4 clear limewater √ (4)

    2.2 The test for carbon dioxide √ (2)


    2.3 Variables: Independent variable: the limewater in the test tube √
    Dependent variable: carbon dioxide produced √
    Controlled variable: Same limewater, same method √ (3)
    Hypothesis: When air is blown through the lime water√ bubbles will formed
    clear lime water will become milky √ (2)

    Conclusion: The air blown into the clear lime water will make the lime
    water milky√ and this shows that carbon dioxide is present.√√ (3)
