Question Image

A student set up the apparatus shown in the diagram to investigate the effect of carbon dioxide concentration on the rate of photosynthesis of a pond plant. The student used five different similar pieces of pond plant and five different concentrations of sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, which provides the carbon dioxide. The student counted the number of bubbles produced by the pond plant over a period of five minutes.

Explain how the student made sure that the results were due only to the changes in carbon dioxide concentration. The student repeated the investigation at each concentration and calculated the rate of photosynthesis. The student’s results are shown in the table below.
