6 Examiner only 4. To investigate the relationship between photosynthesis and respiration, unicellular algae were encapsulated in alginate balls. These were then suspended in hydrogen carbonate indicator which can be used to indicate the concentration of dissolved CO 2. A number of small glass tubes were prepared each containing 30 algal balls and the same volume of indicator was added to each. The tubes were each exposed to light of a different intensity. All other conditions were kept constant. After 1 hour a sample of the indicator was taken and placed in a colorimeter. The results are shown in the table below. The colorimeter was set at zero with ph 7.0. In acid conditions the solution turned lighter giving lower (negative) figures and in alkaline conditions the solution turned darker giving higher (positive) figures. Light intensity (arbitrary units) 100.0 71.0 50.0 25.0 12.5 0.0 Colorimeter reading (arbitrary units) 0.34 0.30 0.17 0.03 0.10 0.15 (a) Plot a graph on the paper opposite.
