CHAPTER 4 - PHOTOSYNTHESIS Marking

scheme

1) Objective: To investigate the effect of light intensity on the √ E1PI1-1

rate of transpirations.

2) Problems Is the light intensity can increase the transpirations rate? √ E1PI1-2
statement:

3) Hypothesis: The rate of the transpirations increases when light √ E1PI1-3

intensity increase.

4) Variables: Manipulate: Light intensity

Responding: rate transpirations/ Time taken for air √ E1PI 1-4
bubble to move from X to Y
Fixed: Temperature
5) Apparatus:
Photometer, beaker, ruler, stopwatch, black and √ E1PI 1-5
transparent polythene bag, wire, cellophane tape, retort
stand.
Material
Leaf branch, distilled water.

6) Technique: Time taken for air bubble to move from X to Y(5 cm √ E1PI 1-6
distance) with stopwatch

7) Procedure:
1) Photometer are prepared as shown at the
diagram. √ E1PI 1-7
2) Mark two point of X and Y with the distance of 5 cm
at capillary tube.
3) Black polythene bag were covered on the leaf
branch.
4) Lift up the capillary tube to produce air bubble.
5) Start the stop watch when air bubble move from x to
y point.
6) Repeat step 4 and 5 for three times to get an average.
7) Replace black polythene with transparent polythene
and repeat step 4 and 5.
8) The data are recorded in the table as shown below.
9) Transpiration rate are calculated and compared the
result of two type of polythene.
9) The rate of transpiration for the transparent polythene
bag is higher than black polythene bag.
