INGENHOUZE’S EXPERIMENT

A. Goals of The Experiment

This experiment have goals to prove that photosynthesis produces oxygen

B. Apparatus and Set Up

1. Test Tube

2. Beaker Glass (1000ml)

3. Funnel

4. Water plant

C. Procedure

1. Fill the beaker glass with 800 ml of water

2. Prepare the plant, and put the plant into the funnel

3. Enter the funnel and the pland into the beaker glass with inverted

4. Enter the tip of the funnel into the test tube

5. Place the beaker glass in the outside

6. Waiting for 15 minutes

D. Data

When the plant lighted by sunshines, the plant produces bubbles

E. Analysis

When the plant lighted by sunshines, photosyntesis occurs. Photosynthesis involved by

chlorophyll and sunshines. Chlorophyll is green pigmen of plant, and photosynthesis just go
on by chlorophyll and sunshines. If cholophyll and CO2 reacted and helped by sunshines so,
photosynthesis will occurs and the bubbles in the glass beaker shown that is oxygen, the
result of photosynthesis.
F. Conclusion

Ingenhouze discovered that plants, while exposed to light, give off bubbles from their leaves.
The gas in the bubbles was oxygen. He also discovered that plants deprived of light of
carbondioxide. This prove that plants only produces photosynthesis in the light.
