Hypothesis
If a plant is placed in the dark then the amount of CO2 produced will be higher, versus, if a plant is placed in the light, then the amount of CO2 produced will be lower. This is because all organisms, even plants, carry out the operation of aerobic cellular respiration, with the following equation:
C6H12O6 + 6O2  6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP + Heat
Carbon dioxide is a product that is then used to

The precipitate could then be weighed and analyzed in relation to the amount of carbon dioxide produced. If tested this experiment may be an alternative that generates correct data for the hypothesis.
