Homework Help: SCIENCE-URGENT

Posted by Eddie on Tuesday, January 8, 2008 at 6:36pm.

Right now I'm studying photosynthesis in Biology. We have to design an experiment that would prove how light reactions occur prior to carbon fixing reactions.

I know how light and carbon fixing reactions work, but how can I prove this experimentally? Are there any experiments I can replicate besides the one in which leaves are simply covered up and then tested for starch?

Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "light 'carbon fixing' experiment plants" to get these possible sources:

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
