CO2 Reaction To Fake And Real Spinach
In the results of the photosynthesis experiment it was based on how CO2 would react to the fake and real spinach leaves. The amount of CO2 increases and decreases in the spinach leaves when there is light. For the results there was negative and positive slopes due to the different varies of color lights that was used during the experiment. For the hypothesis for testing effects of light on the spinach leaves was that CO2 decreases when you test light that means that the photosynthesis is also increasing, which means photosynthesis will not take place without light. During the experiment the hypothesis predictions were fake leaves light there was no result with CO2 release. The real spinach leaves with light has a negative slope for CO2 release.

    More specifically, however, this experiment focused on the photo part of photosynthesis, or the light dependent reactions in chloroplasts. Light dependent reactions require the presence of light to function, so that this light can be taken to create ATP and to reduce NADP+ to NADPH. Consequently, light dependent reactions shut down in the absence of light, thereby stopping the production of ATP and NADPH (Sadava et al. 2012). With this information, an experimental hypothesis can be formed that the presence of light will cause the redox activity of the spinach chloroplasts to increase, while the absence of light will cause this activity to decrease. One possible null hypothesis could be that there will be no significant difference in redox activity between spinach chloroplasts that are under light and in the dark. Therefore, the alternative hypothesis must be that there will be a difference in this activity between the two groups of chloroplasts. To test these hypotheses, chloroplasts were extracted from spinach leaves in order to create enriched chloroplasts, which were a vital…

    The conditions of CO2 and light that I would suggest a student to use would be blue light and having the CO2 levels at 7.5 along with the intensity of the light being at 7.5 also because this would allow the plant to intake good colours of the light spectrum and it would allow a good amount of intake of carbon dioxide and if the intensity of the light it strong than photosynthesis would move at a faster rate…

    The objective of this study was to figure out how different light colors affected the rate of photosynthesis in spinach leaves. This was done by taking leaf disks, removing the CO2 and sinking them in beakers. One beaker filled with regular water, the other filled with a mixture of water and sodium bicarbonate. The beakers were then placed in front of the light sources and the amount of disks floating was recorded every minute. In our study the disks exposed to the red light started to float sooner than the…

    The overall experiment consisted of three smaller experiments as a result of the different properties chlorophylls possess and the need to test them individually to receive the most accurate results. Preparation for the lab began with selecting a medium to large spinach leaf and deveining it. Once the spinach was prepared, it was ground in 5 mL of 100% acetone, creating a green acetone extract. The extract was filtered through a funnel with a kimwipe and into a test tube. The volume of the filtered extract was estimated, and one half of the estimated volume of petroleum ether was added to the solution, along with two drops of water. The test tube was then inverted to ensure it was properly mixed, and the phases could separate.…

    This experiment is concerned with identifying photosynthetic pigments found in spinach plants and determining the spectrum of light each absorbs. By using paper chromatography, different pigments of spinach leaves can be separated. The knowledge gained in this experiment is relevant to understanding how the process of photosynthesis works. A Real-world application for this includes the harvesting of clean energy sources, as scientific advances have led the way to artificial photosynthesis on the path to replace fossil fuels (Nath, 237).…
