The best reason why baking soda (NaHCOβ) is added to the water in this context is:
**To add carbon dioxide to the solution that the plant needs as a reactant of photosynthesis.**
Baking soda dissolves in water to release carbon dioxide, which is essential for photosynthesis in plants like elodea.
**To add carbon dioxide to the solution that the plant needs as a reactant of photosynthesis.**
Baking soda dissolves in water to release carbon dioxide, which is essential for photosynthesis in plants like elodea.
