An Experiment to Test the Effect of Temperature on the Rate of Photosynthesis in Green Algae Background Photosynthesis is an amazing process where plants are able to create their own food as well as oxygen using sunlight‚ carbon dioxide (co2)‚ and water. The part of the plant responsible for photosynthesis is the enzymes in the chlorophyll (structures that carry out photosynthesis located in leaves). Photosynthesis is the process of creating glucose. Water + Carbon Dioxide + Sunlight = Glucose

that was the capabilities to fit to out fuel demand of almost 17 billion barrels of oil a year. Algae are quite easily grown year round whether it is outside or in an indoor facility and can grow in practically any part of the world. Theoretically algae have the capabilities to meet our oil demand better than most green fuels being research today. The most important thing in order to obtain high algae yields is the light source‚ light exposure‚ nutrients and carbon dioxide levels. In this experiment

phosphorus in lakes‚ this leads to and increase in phytoplankton. This then leads to a decrease in water clarity. The reason that this is relevant is because eutrophication is when a body of water receives excess nutrients which results in excessive algae growth (ISP 217 Lab 4 Part 1). Asking a question like what is in the controlled water sample. The reason that this element is important because we needed to know what kind of water we were dealing with which was fish tank water.

applied to pond water (1). Phosphorous‚ commonly used in fertilizers‚ is a necessary and vital element for life but can enhance the effects of eutrophication (the over-enrichment of nutrients in water) (2). Nitrate is a common source of food for most algae‚ but too much can make living conditions in water harsh (3). They are both common pollutants found in fresh water systems throughout the world. The lab’s main objective was to analyze how the two compounds physically affect fresh water. Through a

the different amounts of fertilizer we applied to the algae would affect the growth rate. Also‚ we tested if fertilizer was even an impact in the growth rate of algae. Increasing the amount of the dependent variable (fertilizer) would affect the independent variable (growth of algae) negatively due to too much chemicals that are being applied to the independent variable. Which would kill the algae cells or at last damage them and either the algae would die or become weaker and won’t be able to grow

evolutionary relationships between the two members of each pair you have chosen. In your discussion include structural adaptations and their functional significance. a. Green Algae...Vascular Plants b. Prokaryotes....Eukaryotes a. Green Algae and Vascular Plants have clear evolutionary relationships. Both Green algae and vascular plants have many similarities displaying this fact. Just a few of these similarities include that both groups have chloroplasts with chlorophyll b and beta-carotene

On April 14th‚ 2017 a toxin produced by algae blooms in the Pacific Ocean‚ the Pacific Ocean is the suspect in multiple sea lion deaths‚ an officer with Laguna Beach’s Pacific Marine Mammal Center. Back on April 4th‚ 2017 the center that cares for the marine mammals has rescued about 15 sea lions poison by this horrific algae which is produced by toxins. 8 out of the 15 they saved died‚

What is the Effect of the Colour of Light on the Rate of Photosynthesis? By Amelia Rowan‚ 12SDa Aim To discover whether the colour of the light source has any effect on the rate of photosynthesis of a sample of algae. Hypothesis It was predicted that the colour of the light source would have a very slight effect on the rate of photosynthesis. It was further predicted that when the sample was placed under the green light‚ the rate of photosynthesis would be the lowest. This hypothesis was arrived

The algae blooms are being stopped by canadian and american authorities spending billions of dollars reducing phosphorus that make the plants grow. Farmers use new techniques so less pollutants get into the waterways making the algae bloom problem more intractable. Then‚ In these two paragraphs you will learn about the problems in lake erie today. Many miles of algae blooms are covering lake erie today. Scientists say that in Lake Erie algae blooms have been a problem since

photosynthesis. Specific Information: Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert the light energy captured from the sun into chemical energy that can be used to fuel the organism’s activities. It occurs in plants‚ algae‚ and many species of bacteria‚ but not archaea. Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and water‚ releasing oxygen as a waste product. It is vital for all aerobic life on Earth. In addition to maintaining normal levels of oxygen in the atmosphere‚ photosynthesis
