Experiment description
This experiment demonstrates that carbon dioxide is necessary for photosynthesis. Two similar plants are first kept in the dark to remove stored starch. Plant A is placed with potassium hydroxide to absorb carbon dioxide, while Plant B is kept without it. After keeping both in sunlight, only Plant B forms starch, proving that photosynthesis does not occur without carbon dioxide.
