4.2.1 Carbon dioxide uptake

Measuring Carbon dioxide uptake test has been taken on 28 March of 2018. The data were
collected continuously for 14 hours at 1 hour time interval. There were 5 different type of
vegetation has been conduct in this experiment. The leaf areas of vegetation were measured
in order to estimate amount of net photosynthesis rate performed by the vegetation. The rates
of photosynthesis net were shown on table 4.1.

From the data at table 4.1, we can calculate the average photosynthesis net at every

hour. The average photosynthesis net at 8.00 am is 6.06µmolCO2m-2s-1, at 10.00 am is

6.17µmolCO2m-2s-1, at 12.00 pm is 8.37µmolCO2m-2s-1, at 2.00 pm is 6.71µmolCO2m-2s-

, at 4.00 pm is 4.45µmolCO2m-2s-1, at 6.00 pm is 5.22µmolCO2m-2s-1, at 8.00 pm is

6.42µmolCO2m-2s-1, and lastly at 10.00 pm is 7.27µmolCO2m-2s-1. Therefore, from the

average photosynthesis net at every hour, we can conclude at 12.00 pm every plant have the
highest average meanwhile at 4.00pm is the lowest average photosynthesis net in every plant.

Furthermore, from the data at table 4.1, the best 3 plant that have highest average
photosynthesis is Sansevieria trifasciata, Syngonium podophyllum, Artermisia Anuaa. The

highest average photosynthesis net is Sansevieria trifasciata which is 7.48 µmolCO2m-2s-1

otherwise the lowest average photosynthesis net is Sansevieria trifasciata (Golden) which is
5.48 µmolCO2m-2s-1.

4.2.2 Calculation of daily and annual carbon dioxide uptake.

4.2.1.1 Artermisia Anuaa

Assuming that 12 hours daylight is received in 1 day = 12h x 60m x 60s = 43,200s.

Therefore, in one day, one leaf of Artermisia Anuaa is estimated to uptake:

Leaf area 0.065m x 0.046m

6.36 µmolCO2m-2s-1 x 0.00299 m2 x 43,200 s = 821.51 µmolCO2

= 0.821 mmolCO2

Therefore, total CO2 uptakes: = 0.821 mmolCO2

= 0.000821 mol CO2
1 mol CO2 consists of 44.01 g CO2.
Therefore, 0.000821 mol CO2 consists of 44.01 x 0.000821 = 0.0422 g CO2 in 1 day.
The annual carbon uptake for Artemisia Anuaa:
= 0.0361 g x 365 days
= 13.188 g CO2 per year

4.2.1.2 Syngonium podophyllum

Therefore, in one day, one leaf of Syngonium podophyllum is estimated to uptake:

Leaf area 0.143m x 0.076m

6.64 µmolCO2m-2s-1 x 0.0108 m2 x 43,200 s = 3097.95 µmolCO2

= 3.10 mmolCO2

Therefore, total CO2 uptakes: = 3.10 mmolCO2

= 0.00310 mol CO2
1 mol CO2 consists of 44.01 g CO2.
Therefore, 0.00310 mol CO2 consists of 44.01 x 0.00310 = 0.136 g CO2 in 1 day.
The annual carbon uptake for Syngonium podophyllum:
= 0.136 g x 365 days
= 49.76 g CO2 per year
4.2.1.3 Sansevieria trifasciata

Therefore, in one day, one leaf of Sansevieria trifasciata is estimated to uptake:

Leaf area 0.096m x 0.049m

7.48 µmolCO2m-2s-1 x 0.00470 m2 x 43,200 s = 1518.74 µmolCO2

= 1.52 mmolCO2

Therefore, total CO2 uptakes: = 1.52 mmolCO2

= 0.00152 mol CO2
1 mol CO2 consists of 44.01 g CO2.
Therefore, 0.00152 mol CO2 consists of 44.01 x 0.00152 = 0.067 g CO2 in 1 day.
The annual carbon uptake for Sansevieria trifasciata:
= 0.067 g x 365 days
= 24.41 g CO2 per year

4.2.1.4 Sansevieria trifasciata (Golden)

Therefore, in one day, one leaf of Sansevieria trifasciata (Golden) is estimated to uptake:

Leaf area 0.118m x 0.054m

5.48 µmolCO2m-2s-1 x 0.00637 m2 x 43,200 s = 1508.00 µmolCO2

= 1.508mmolCO2

Therefore, total CO2 uptakes: = 1.508 mmolCO2

= 0.0015 mol CO2
1 mol CO2 consists of 44.01 g CO2.
Therefore, 0.0015 mol CO2 consists of 44.01 x 0.0015 = 0.066 g CO2 in 1 day.
The annual carbon uptake for Sansevieria trifasciata (Golden):
= 0.066 g x 365 days
= 24.22 g CO2 per year

4.2.1.5 Tradescantia Spathacea

Therefore, in one day, one leaf of Tradescantia Spathacea is estimated to uptake:

Leaf area 0.147m x 0.028m

5.69 µmolCO2m-2s-1 x 0.004116 m2 x 43,200 s = 1011.74 µmolCO2

= 1.01 mmolCO2

Therefore, total CO2 uptake: = 1.01 mmolCO2

= 0.00101 mol CO2
1 mol CO2 consists of 44.01 g CO2.
Therefore, 0.00101 mol CO2 consists of 44.01 x 0.00101 = 0.044 g CO2 in 1 day.
The annual carbon uptake for Tradescantia Spathacea:
= 0.044 g x 365 days
= 16.25 g CO2 per year

Based on calculation of daily and annual carbon dioxide uptake, we can
