Photosynthesis is the word which describes the way which plants feed. Plants can make their own food, unlike animals, that have to find their own source of food. The word equation for photosynthesis is: Sunlight [image002.gif] Carbon dioxide + Water Glucose + Oxygen Chlorophyll The chemical equation for Photosynthesis is: Sunlight [image003.gif] 6CO2 + 6H20 C6H12O6 + 6O2 Chlorophyll During Photosynthesis, Carbon Dioxide and water are the reactants and Glucose and Oxygen are the products. Sunlight energy and chlorophyll are used during the process of photosynthesis. Glucose is stored in the plant as Starch which is an insoluble substance. The outline of the experiment is as follows: A piece of pondweed will be placed into a beaker containing water and sodium bicarbonate; the sodium carbonate will be the source...
