Kit for Demonstration of Aquatic Plant Respiration Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Kit for Demonstration of Aquatic Plant Respiration (Product Code: SCL227/014) is a demonstration kit for studying gas exchange in water plants. Its description sets out the purpose: to show how, during photosynthesis, plants give off molecular oxygen, which in submerged plants can be seen as a stream of bubbles. Teachers use it in biology lessons that compare respiration and photosynthesis in aquatic plants, and it is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Key Details

Typical Use

A sprig of a submerged water plant such as Hydrilla or Elodea is placed in water under bright light, and the gas it releases is watched or collected. Students count bubbles with the lamp at different distances to see how light affects the rate, and a glowing splint test on collected gas confirms that it is oxygen.

Moving the same set-up into darkness shows the other side of the story: oxygen release stops, while respiration continues and the plant takes up oxygen instead. Adding a little sodium hydrogen carbonate to the water supplies extra carbon dioxide and gives a steadier bubble stream. As a photosynthesis experiment kit it suits both teacher demonstrations and student investigations; ask us for the component list so you can plan the rest of the apparatus.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this kit demonstrate?
Its description states that it shows how plants emit molecular oxygen during photosynthesis. Used in light and then in darkness, it also supports discussion of respiration in aquatic plants.

What is included?
The component list is not given in this listing; ask us through the contact page and we will confirm it before you order.

Which water plants are suitable?
Fast-growing submerged plants such as Hydrilla or Elodea, freshly cut and kept in water under good light.

How can students confirm that the gas is oxygen?
Collect enough gas in an inverted tube and test it with a glowing splint, which relights in oxygen.

What does a school need to state in a quotation request?
The number of kits, the delivery address and any related apparatus you want quoted together.

Can you deliver outside India?
Yes. ScienceLab supplies India and international markets; share your destination with your enquiry.
