Two sets of apparatus are set up as shown to investigate the gas released during
photosynthesis. Test tube X is placed in a bright area, while test tube Y is placed in a dark
area under a cardboard for four hours.
(a) In this experiment, state the variable that
(i) is kept constant:
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
(ii) is manipulated: …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
(iii) responds: ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
(b) What can be observed in each test tube after four hours?
