Structured Question 1 [8 marks] Leaf discs cut out from a destarched plant were divided into four groups and labeled A, B, C and D. Groups A and B were floated on distilled water, while C and D were floated on 5% glucose solution. Group A was exposed to light, while the others were kept in the dark. Groups A, B and C had air but group D was kept in a vacuum (no air). After 2 days, all the leaf discs were treated with iodine solution. The table below summarizes the treatment given and the results of the iodine test. Leaf discs Floated on Conditions provided Iodine test

A Distilled water Light; air

B Distilled water Dark; air

C 5% glucose Dark; air

D 5% glucose Dark; vacuum

a. Plot a graph to show the relation between the rate of photosynthesis and temperature. [3]

b. Describe and explain the change in rate of photosynthesis as the temperature is changed
