PENTAKSIRAN KEMAHIRAN SAINTIFIK KADAR FOTOSINTESIS

BAB 6 : NUTRISI (PENTAKSIRAN KATEGORI A)

Ali is a farmer who plants flowers in Cameron Highlands. He wants to increase the
crop yields to maximum. Therefore he wants to switch on the lights to enhance
photosynthesis at night. As a biology student, plan an experiment to investigate the
intensity of light that will affect the rate of photosynthesis.
Ali adalah seorang petani yang menanam bunga di Cameron Highlands. Dia mahu
meningkatkan hasil tanaman kepada maksimum. Oleh itu, dia ingin menyalakan
lampu untuk meningkatkan fotosintesis pada waktu malam. Sebagai pelajar biologi,
rancang satu eksperimen untuk menyiasat keamatan cahaya yang akan
mempengaruhi kadar fotosintesis.

The planning of your experiment must include the following aspects:

scheme

1) Objective: To investigate the effect of light intensity on the

rate of photosynthesis.

2) Problems Does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis? √

statement:

3) Hypothesis: The rate of the photosynthesis increases when light intensity √

increase.

4) Variables: Manipulate: Distance between light source and plant/ √

Light intensity
Responding : number of bubbles released in 5 minutes/ √
rate of photosynthesis
Fixed: Temperature √

5) Materials : Hydrilla sp., 1% sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, distilled

water, plasticine

6) Apparatus: 60W bulb, 500 ml beaker, test tube, a glass funnel, stopwatch,
thermometer, a metre rule √

7) Procedure: 1) A 5cm sprig is cut from a Hydrilla sp. plant using a sharp
scalpel.
2) The plant is placed with the cut end facing upwards.
3) A paper clip is used to weighed down the other end of √
Hydrilla sp. sprig. (Precaution measure)
4) 10 ml of 0.3 sodium hydrogen carbonate solution is poured
in a boiling tube.
5) The boiling tube with plant is placed in a water bath with
the temperature maintained at 28oC.
6) A 60 W bulb is placed at a distance of 50 cm from the plant.
7) When the rate of bubbles given out is constant, the
number of bubble released for 5 minutes is recorded using √ PUB
a stopwatch.
8) The steps are repeated by using different distance such as
40cm, 30cm, 20cm, 10cm. √ PUM
9) The results are recorded and the rate of photosynthesis is √ PUM (iii)

Discussion:

1) What is the relationship between distance of light source with

plant and the rate of photosynthesis? √
From the diagram, when the distance of light source with plant Relationship
increases, the rate of photosynthesis increases

Conclusion.
The rate of the photosynthesis increases when light intensity
increases.
