Plastic, Plants, and Photosynthesis

Tim and I wanted to find out if plants could survive in a no carbon dioxide free zone. Plants naturally produce food through photosynthesis via sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water in the chloroplasts. (Photosynthesis,2012) The process breaks down water for it to combine hydrogen and carbon dioxide to create carbohydrates for food.(Light Energy,2012) We will have two plants in cups, one in a sealed plastic bag and another out in open air. We will then use a instrument to measure the carbon dioxide levels in both areas to be sure our work is accurate.
