How Does The Colored Light Affect The Rate Of Photosynthesis

In this experiment, the class examined how the rate of photosynthesis was affected by different light colors at different distances in shoots of a Cabomba plant. The plants were placed in two different beakers, one with recently boiled and cooled distilled water and the other with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. The three different color photoflood lamps used for this experiment were white, red, and green at four distances of thirty, sixty, ninety, and one hundred-twenty centimeters away from the plants. There were six groups testing the white light, one group testing the red light, and two groups testing the green light. All results were recorded and averaged for the end result. The plant in the beaker that contained boiled and
Photosynthesis and plant growth is dependent on light and the rate of photosynthesis was affected by the different light colors and different distances.

The process of green plants obtaining energy from sunlight to be used to order carbon dioxide to produce glucose is photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is required by all plants on Earth for their survival. It is the most important biochemical process on earth. This process produces organic matter from constant inorganic materials which in turns prevents life from becoming extinct (Rabinowitch, 1945). The factors that affect photosynthesis are sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water. Sunlight begins the reaction, then water molecules are split to form energy-containing compounds and finally, the carbon dioxide is fixed to form glucose. The equation for photosynthesis is C6H12O6 + 6O2-------> 6CO2 + 6H2O +ATP. The photosynthesis process contains two phases, the light and dark reactions. During both phases,
