Experiment Goal
Aerobic bacteria
Filament
of alga
Engelmann ‘ s experiment . In 1883, Theodor W. Engelmann illuminated a filamentous alga with light
that had been passed through a prism, exposing different segments of the alga to different
wavelengths. He used aerobic bacteria, which concentrate near an oxygen source, to determine which
segments of the alga were releasing the most O2 and thus photosynthesizing most.
Bacteria congregated in greatest numbers around the parts of the alga illuminated with violet-blue
or red light. Notice the close match of the bacterial distribution to the action spectrum in part b.
CONCLUSION
Light in the violet - blue and red portions of the
spectrum are most effective in driving photosynthesis .

Procedures
Prepare all tools and materials
Put the Hydrilla inside the funnel in the
elemenyer glass.
Put the reaction tube upside down
covering the mouth of funnel.
Set the Hydrilla under the sunlight.
Wait a few minutes until the bubbles
arise.
Count the bubble for the first, to fifth
minutes.
Procedures
Repeat the same procedures for color-
covered Hydrilla.

Conclusion
The Photosynthesize Process Produce Gas
• it is proven by the accumulation of gas
in the reaction tube.
The Photosynthesize Process Runs Best in
Red Light
• it is proven by the amount of bubble in
red-covered Hydrilla in bigger in size.
