Aim The aim of this experiment is to find out which side of a tree the most Pleurococcus grows upon, and why this is so. Prediction I think the most Pleurococcus will grow on the North side of the tree. I think this will happen because, the south side of the tree receives the most sunlight. The heat from this sunlight would dry out the Pleurococcus, which would cause it to dry out, and die. As Pleurococcus is an algae, it photosynthesises. This means it needs water as is shown in the photosynthesis equation below. Water + Carbon Dioxide Oxygen + Glucose (aq) (g) (g) (s) 6H20 + 6CO2 6O2 + C6H12O6 (aq) (g) (g) (s) If it can not photosynthesise, it will not have enough energy to grow, reproduce, respire, and repair, it will, therefore, die. The other input into photosynthesis, is Carbon Dioxide, because Carbon Dioxide is a gas, and diffuses, it will not affect our experiment....
