@Han Solo exactly. And it's been like that, since the dawn of youtube. People really do believe, that an 8 minute youtube video could constitute the entirety of their school, whilst they fail to realize that they were given the basic components to comprehend these abstract, scientific (e.g) ideas from what they abolish. The school system was never made to be fun, rather educating - the medium which conveys whatever class, is in charge of making it edible and entertaining for the students. People also fail to realize, that the knowledge they seek from a creator they find intriguing, will fall much more to their favor. See the connection? If you have a teacher you adore, you will be interested in what they say. It's no deep secret to life🤣

[@piyushmeshram1618]

When it gets dark they still keep on performing the dark reaction which happens in the stroma (matrix) of the chloroplast because that doesn't depends on the light but depends on the product of the light reaction , ie atp and nadph+h+ to produce carbohydrates out of it , when the stored atp and nadph+h+ gets over the reaction stops and starts again when the plant gets the light , that's one of the reason why the leaf didn't get down at the end , this experiment could have been better performed using a aquatic plant like hydrilla , as was shown during 19th century by Jan ingenhousz i appreciate the experiment you performed out in the video , I'm a med student namaste from India

So... my questions are: is the water "sweeter" in the day than at night?

And does well water taste different at night? I know these seem like dumb questions (because some folks can't tell the difference in the taste of water) but I need these answers and have no way to test/experiment to find out.

[@FinalSentinel]

Why not get some spinach and try it yourself? Though I think all that baking soda would affect the taste significantly more lol.

[@siukong]

The sugar is bound inside the cells (it's their energy/fuel source after all) so I wouldn't expect much of a noticeable difference in the water's flavour. I'm not an expert on spring water but as far as I'm aware any difference in taste is mostly due to minerals, salts and other impurities from the surrounding earth/rocks.

This is the coolest thing i’ve seen a while

[@maoomph]

I’ve done this before but with aquatic plants, alka-seltzer tablets and sunlight.

[@jackiec498]

Yes, me too! Only instead with baby gerbils, rainbow duct tape, chicken broth, and lasers.

They look like lillypads

You could use this trick in a little diorama or something ❤️

@@JoveRogers97 yea

That actually also happens in aquarium plants when fish owners had just finished filling the aquarium with water after a water change. The new water brings in various gases, and the plants consequently "pearl" or create bubbles of oxygen that rise up to the surface.

Literally just did this in class like four days ago…WHY IS IT THAT EVERYTHING I DO IS SUDDENLY ON MY FYP😭😭😭

Our phone listens. Literally. For real. Creepy, our world these days

This is fantastic! I'm a homeschool mom. I'm grabbing my hubby so we can do this (and a few other experiments) with the kids on Saturday! ❤ Thank you! 😄

Small correction Bro, 6 molecule of CO2 is reacting with 12 molecules of H2O.

[@tayebizem3749]

6 not 12 The H is already 2 🙄

[@adriasalarich]

The global reaction for photosynthesis is 6CO2+6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2 (which is balanced).

[@sailoruniverse5715]

just did this recently for A-level bio. we didn’t get a very successful result 😭😭

[@wynand988]

That's because photosynthesis isn't real. Its only the sodium bicarbonate reacting with organic matter that makes it happen .

@@wynand988 Does the process require light?

@@husanaaulia4717 which process? Plants can't grow without light because they cant transpire water vapour without heat on their leafs

This happens every day in my planted aquarium 💅

[@nofrbls3640]

we did this back in sophomore year highschool in biology. very effective way in teaching photosynthesis since you can see it happen in real time

[@dikoman516]

Those who have planted aquariums are used to seeing plants photosynthesizing. 😜
