What’s the best way to test for photosynthesis in Spec 20?

Tip: “Another activity with the Spec 20 and the photosynthesis lab is to cut the bands from the chromatograms. For example, take all of the carotene bands, soak them in a small amount of the solvent, then put the solvent in a test tube and run an absorption spectrum on that particular pigment. Do the same thing with all the other pigment bands.

What’s the best probe for photosynthesis?

Tip: “I used the new oxygen gas probe for a photosynthesis lab and in less than six minutes using three leaves snipped off a house plant I had the neatest curve you have ever seen. I have also used the CO2 probe from Vernier with excellent results in photosynthesis and other labs.

What is the best colorimeter for photosynthesis lab?

Tip: “The Vernier colorimeter and CBL/calculator option works great for the photosynthesis lab. The colorimeters are only about $100, so a whole class can be supplied with them for less than the cost of one Spec 20. The only catch is that it only runs at three wavelengths. That’s not a problem for the DPIP.
