PHOTO: stands for Light
SYNTHESIS: stands for Generate (in Greek)
So when you put them together PHOTOSYNTHESIS it means
Plants use light to generate energy.

Besides sunlight plants need water and Carbon dioxide (CO2) to get their food.

Where do you think plants get their Carbon dioxide (CO2) from? People
When we breathe oxygen in the air, the air we breathe out is Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Science behind a leaf breathing
Plants help us breathe by taking in Carbon dioxide (CO2) (for photosynthesis) and letting out oxygen through their leaves. This process is called plant respiration. The leaf uses sunlight during the photosynthesis which is where the plant converts light energy into chemical energy for the planet.

During photosynthesis, the leaf gets rid of what it doesn't need which is oxygen and water.
This oxygen is the bubbles that you see on the leaf. This bubbles is plant respiration in action!

Check out my experiment with LEAF TRANSPIRATION Experiment (what is transpiration?)
This experiment captures the water coming out the the leaves.

This looks like fun to do with my little niece but have to wait for the weather gets warm outside he got cold again.

CooL one Ken!

I should give it a try as well with my children! But I should try to find a novelty 🧐🤔🤔🤔

Maybe it is also interesting to have the leave half submerged and half above water. Then it is still able to take up CO2 from the air. The photosynthesis now taking place, is because the CO2 already present in the leaf, I think.

There's no sunset in my side it's raining
and don't have torch to do it so how should I do

can you do the ear and nose switch to help how to control your brain?

Coochie Photosynthesis. Sunlight on fresh green leaves and transpiration. Our lungs of this planet this earth.❤

[KervhinCristoria]

I have no idea what's going on in our environment..

[hunk]

I thought respiration means Oxygen in and CO2 out.

I’ve been trying this multiple times but it doesnt work for me for some reason 🥲 i’ve been doing exactly like what you do but it doesn’t show any bubbles for me 🥲🥲 the only difference in what i do is i put rlly hot water and the sunlight here sometimes goes away but only for a little while..
