All green parts of a plant have chloroplasts. However‚ the leaves are the major site of photosynthesis for most plants. There are about half a million chloroplasts per square millimeter of leaf surface. The color of a leaf comes from chlorophyll‚ the green pigment in the chloroplasts. Chlorophyll plays an important role in the absorption of light energy during photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are found mainly in mesophyll cells forming the tissues in the interior of the leaf. O2 exits and CO2 enters

HYPOTHESIS Using train conductors as representatives for all of human kind we can postulate with some accuracy the percent of the population of Earth that are complete and total assholes. If you have ever lived in a small town with train tracks running through it you will know that the conductor of the train is required to sound the whistle at every crossing. This is a 4-part whistle; 2 long‚ 1 short‚ 1 long. My hypothesis is that we can calculate what percentage of the population of planet Earth

This is also known as “osmosis.” How do you know that this organelle would help with that process? Vacuole 5) Which organelle‚ if empty‚ would cause the plant to wilt? Why is this? if the vacuole is empty the plant will because

The Wonders of Plants Experiment 2 – Upside Down Mungbeans Experiment 3 – Plant Labyrinth 6/18/2015 Mt Gravatt State High School Trinity Wong Abstract Introduction: Plants can’t move like animals do but they respond to certain stimuli‚ making them change the direction in which they grow. Plants are very sensitive to their environment and have evolved many forms of "tropisms" in order to ensure their survival. A tropism is a growth movement whose direction is determined by the direction

exactly the same genetic code used in eukaryotic cells. Other things in the two cells that may appear a difference aren’t‚ an example being prokaryotic cells have a cell wall‚ and while not all eukaryotic cells have a cell wall‚ many do including plant cells. There are also many differences between the two cells‚ the most obvious being the size of the two and with the difference in complexity. The most distinct difference is that Eukaryotic cells have a true nucleus bound by a double membrane

Pre-lab questions: 1. Algae belong to what Kingdom? They belong to the Kingdom Protista. 2. What are the three types of multicellular algae? The three types if multicellular algae are chlorophyta which are green algae‚ phaeophyta which are brown algae‚ and rhodophyta which are red algae. 3. Are algae autotrophs or heterotrophs? Algae are autotrophs. 4. What organelle allows plants (and plantlike protists) to photosynthesize? The chloroplasts allow plants and plantlike protists to photosynthesize

Based off the results from this lab the student was able to determine and have an overall better understanding of the variables that affect the rate of photosynthesis in a plant. The first variable the student tested in the lab was 30cm of light with CO2 present. The student started this trial with all 10-leaf disks and timed how many leaf disks came up every minute for 15 minutes. One minute into the trial and the student recorded that no leaf disks had yet to rise to the top of the solution. At

Chapter 7 and 8 discuss and give in depth details on photosynthesis and cellular respiration. They are the exact opposites in what they set out to complete in the cells of a leaf. Photosynthesis takes light energy and separates it in the chloroplasts to create glucose. Cellular respiration breaks down glucose to provide energy for the cell. The similarities between them include overlap in some of the enzymes and products and reactants utilized. The differences include the cycles and steps taken to
