I'm working on a schience project that has to do with photosynthesis. in my experiment i'm putting black trash bag scraps over the leaves but the plant isn't dieing even though i thought it would. is it possible that the sunlight is going through the trash bags and letting the plants use photosynthesis?

oh i left the black trash bag stuff over the leaves for quite a while at the end of october.

possibly that could be happenig because photosynthsis help make gluecose in the plant leaves(food). maybe the plant need to stay longer under the bag because it may have gluecose stored in the leaves for it to feed on.

u should have mentioned how long u left the plant covered with the trash bag to be more specific. if u talking about after 1 day then u need to give it at least a week and maybe u shud switch to using a card board box to cover the whole plant since no light can penetrate through it.

How long have you had the bag over the plant? The plant isn't like a person, or a cat or a dog; it's going to take more than a few minutes for it to die.

Photosynthesis - the synthesis of sugar from easy, carbon dioxide and water, with oxygen as a with the aid of-product. this is arguably the main severe biochemical pathway properly-known; almost all existence relies upon on it. this is an fairly complicated technique, produced from many coordinated biochemical reactions. It happens in greater flora, algae, some micro organism, and a few protists, organisms at the same time observed as photoautotrophs. this text summarizes the diverse important factors of the technique and would grant links to extra specified articles explaining the diverse technical info, and implications, in touch. basic!

in order for the light reactions to occur, there needs to be sunlight, and that is a major part of photosynthesis. so sunlight has to be going througgh the bag, unless it is a plant that does not need sunlight, try putting it in a cabinet so that there will be no entrance of light.

well I do not think that the sun rays would go through the trash bag... to be sure you should put a control group in the window and then the variable group in a dark cupboard or something like that... its a more reliable test group.

Probably. Use aluminum foil. this won't let any light through. Is the bottom covered, too? But leave some room for air to get in so that isn't a variable, too.

FIRST OF ALL the plant isnt s'posed to dry, it just discolors in the area where you put the bad straps.
And there is no need to give you the reason,even though it is sooo easy. Reffer to your books, or google.
Or your teacher

light could be leaking thru the seams. many plants will continue to grow when the light is blocked as they try to grow stems in new directions. if they don't locate light in time though, they will die, which could take several weeks.

tis could be as dark colours such as black absorbs light
but could be other reasons, like not givinng the experiment enuf time.
let me know when u eventually find out
