The effect of different coloured lights on the rate of Photosynthesis Objective: To find out which colour of light provides the best consequences for the production of oxygen/ the rate of photosynthesis Background: In photosynthesis‚ there are two main parts‚ including light dependent and light-independent reactions. Plants use the energy from light for producing sugar‚ which is being converted into ATP by cellular respiration. They also are the only organisms that produce oxygen along with glucose

They all had about the same mass. We used 9 life savers. In our experiment we had to dissolve our life savers. The concept of dissolving is to place the

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

Make sure to not spill anywhere in the lab. Complete the tests and all results/ observation are in a proper table. (A) Observation of urine 1) The urine is sniffed and the description of the urine is described. Terminologies like slightly nutty‚ sweet/ fruity or pungent can be used

Question/Purpose: The Question or Purpose of our lab is to answer the question “How is the germination of a seed affected by sunlight?” Experimental Hypothesis: We believe these results will occur. 1. The seeds that are water deprived (1 mL of H2O a day) will not grow very well due to a lack of water which is important in photosynthesis and also lacks nutrients. The seeds may also die off due to a lack of water. 2. The seeds that are have a proper amount of water (10 mL of

Shalacia Gilmore Fall 2012 BIO 1107 Natural Selection Lab INTRODUCTION In the 1850s‚ two scientists by the name of Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace composed the theory of evolution by natural selection. (1) Darwin characterized several claims needed for natural selection to happen‚ including heritable variation within the population‚ and the presence of more individuals than the environment can support. They also discovered that certain environments favored certain traits. These

Protocol for Lab 5 – Aerobic Respiration Part 1 Isolation of Mitochondria from Cauliflower - Weigh 50g of rosettes cut from fresh cauliflower head. - Cut rosettes and place it on ice - Prepare juice extractor by placing ice and an empty 150 ml beaker into the right compartment. - Collect pulp from left compartment and record total volume of the extract. Approx. 20ml - Filter the pulp using six layered cheese cloth and collect it in a beaker sitting on ice. - Place two 50 ml test tubes

Photosynthesis is a process done in the chloroplasts of plant cells that is beneficial to all of life. Plants are able to convert light to energy which is beneficial to the plants‚ while also giving off oxygen as a byproduct for humans. Chloroplasts are in the thylakoid discs of a plant cell‚ that contain chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b‚ which are it’s light-capturing pigments. Colors in the wavelengths are either absorbed or reflected by the chlorophyll in which case green is reflected and colors

Investigation 5: Photosynthesis Problem: If the leaf disks are treated in a way you know increases the net rate of photosynthesis‚ should they start to float faster or slower? Why? Hypothesis: If the leaf disks were bathed in a red light source‚ then the rate of photosynthesis would increase than leaf disks that are bathed in a regular light source because chlorophyll absorbs red pigment and reflects green pigments. Therefore‚ shining a red light source onto the leaf disks would cause them
