Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "light 'carbon fixing' experiment plants" to get these possible sources:

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
Right now I'm studying photosynthesis in Biology. We have to design an experiment that would prove how light reactions occur prior to carbon fixing reactions.
I know how light and carbon fixing reactions work, but how can I prove this experimentally? Are there any experiments I can replicate besides the one in which leaves are simply covered up and then tested for starch?
