the leaf not in the green bottle is growing faster. should that be correct? |

we have 2 plants exacrtly the same and one of them is under the green bottle. the other one is just out in theopen sunlight. is this okay? we think the one in the sunlight will grow faster due to direct synlight |

Plants primarily need light, carbon dioxide, and water to complete photosynthesis. If you put a plant in a green soda bottle, you would be changing the light and level of carbon dioxide surrounding the plant. Plants do the process of photosynthesis in order to grow. You could do measurements on the plants that may indicate the level of photosynthesis. For instance, you could measure other plant attributes such as biomass accumulation (plant weight), leaf expansion rate or plant height (how big the plants are getting for a given period of time), or leaf chlorophyll content. What would be your other experimental treatments in addition to plants in a green soda bottle? |

:) what other variables can we measure if photosysnthesis is not visible? |

Why would putting a green soda bottle around the plant affect its ability to complete or go through photosynthesis? |

we are going to put 1 plant under a green soda bottle and just keep one out in the open. which do you think will grow faster? and why? |

i would like to know why plants go through potosynthesis. |

Hi! I am Emily from Rutgers University and I am so happy to be able to mentor the Killer Bees! It is great to read that you are eager to learn about photosynthesis in plants! A few of you have posted questions about the rate of photosynthesis in plant leaves. What type of things in the plant's growing environment do you think might affect how much photosynthesis occurs? |

Welcome! I am happy to welcome you to this community of plant researchers. Your team has the opportunity to be mentored by a scientist to help you develop and perform your own research project. The mentor's role is to encourage and guide you through the scientific process of discovery. The more you share your ideas and research information online, the more your mentor can help. Your scientist mentor for this project will be Emily Merewitz from Rutgers University. Please introduce yourself and post some possible research topic ideas to get a conversation rolling. These resources are available to help you get started: Thinking Like a Scientist / Working Like a Scientist Designing Experiments Guide to Using A Spreadsheet Best wishes as you start this scientific journey. We are all pleased to share this experience with you. Have fun! Sincerely, The PlantingScience team |

question I am very excited for this experiment. I do have a question though. How many times does a plant go through photosynthesis in one day? |

question I'm oober excited to work on this expeirment. my question for you is how much photosynthesis occurs in a plant in one day. please reply back asap. thanks girl :) |

IN leaves we need to know how to measure how much photosynthesis is growing in a leaf of any plant in our green house. |
