I am going to talk about is Carbon Dioxide necessary for photosynthesis. I will find out the answer through the control experiment.

My hypothesis is the iodine will react with the leaf that contains carbon dioxide. In the control experiment, I need 2 leaves, Beaker, hot pot, Iodine solution, Forceps and White tile.

The control variables are the presence of light, supply of CO2, supply of oxygen and supply of water. These are unchanged. However, the presence of Chloroph II and the temp are independent variables.

First of all, I will take 2 leaves from two different plants. One leaf was taken from a plant in an environment without Carbon dioxide and another in normal atmosphere.

Carbon dioxide is used by plants during photosynthesis to make sugars which may either be consumed again in respiration or used as the raw material to produce polysaccharides such as starch and cellulose, proteins and the wide variety of other organic compounds required for plant growth and development. It is produced during respiration by plants, and by all animals, fungi and microorganisms that depend on living and decaying plants for food, either directly or indirectly.

It is because plants need to take in CO2 in order to survive and if plants do not get enough CO2 then we would suffer because plants give off oxygen and we breath in oxygen.

a. Muscle cells are important in the Cori Cycle, whereas liver cells are important in the Citrate Cycle.

b. Muscle glycogen is the largest depot of stored glucose in the body and it is the primary source of serum glucose in between meals, whereas liver glycogen provides energy for liver cells to synthesize lipids.

c.Muscle glycogen provides more energy to the brain than liver glycogen provides energy to muscle cells because muscle cells have the enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase.

d. Liver glycogen
