Determination of rate of photosynthesis INTRODUCTION Photosynthesis is the major process by which light from the sun is captured by plants‚ algae and some bacteria to produce energy. It is a process in which light energy is converted into chemical energy which is then stored in sugars. Photosynthesis occurs in two stages‚ light-dependant reactions and light-independent reactions. In light-dependent reactions the chlorophyll traps light energy which is then used to excite electrons and split water

Experiment to investigate the effect of concentration of electrolyte on the current of voltaic cell Aim The aim is to identify the relationship between the concentration of H2SO4 solution and the current of Cu-Zn voltaic cell. Hypothesis My hypothesis is that the greater the concentration of sulfuric acid the bigger the current of the voltaic cell. In a voltaic cell‚ chemical energy is concerted to electrical though the oxidation and reduction happen on the electrodes. Current will not flow

purpose of this lab was to investigate whether veins affect photosynthesis rate. It was predicted that having veins would decrease the rate because chloroplast might be less frequent due to the vascular tissue. For this experiment‚ 4 groups were set up: veins and no veins in CO2 solution‚ and veins and no veins in distilled water‚ the distilled water groups served as controls. These 4 groups were placed under a light bulb in order for photosynthesis to occur. No disks experience movement in the first 7

Title: Rate of Photosynthesis Introduction: Photosynthesis occurs in plants where the light energy changes to chemical energy. This process occurs in the chloroplast of the plant cell in order to have gas exchange in the organism. Purpose: To measure the effect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis in the leaf cells. Hypothesis: The higher the concentration of the sodium bicarbonate solution‚ the faster the leaf of the plant will rise to the surface of the water in the beaker‚ the

Investigation of the rate of photosynthesis of pondweed. Research question: How does the concentration of sodium bicarbonate relate to the amount of oxygen produced by Elodea (Canadian pond weed) in the process of photosynthesis? Hypothesis: If there is an increase in concentration of sodium bicarbonate the amount of oxygen produced will increase because the sodium bicarbonate concentration will increase the carbon dioxide levels. Independent variable- Concentrations of sodium bicarbonate (8%

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

Experiment to determine absolute zero using Charles’s law In this experiment you will be determining the specific heat capacity of oil using an electrical method. You will need to ensure that your write up contains the following: • Clear method (bullet points are ok) and labelled diagram include what is to be repeated and averaged. • State independent/dependent and control variable(s) • State what is to be varied and how (include range and intervals)? • What is to be measured and what with

The Aim of the experiment: In this experiment I will investigate the relationship between the concentration of the hydrochloric acid and the rate of a reaction. To find this out I will react different concentration of hydrochloric acid and magnesium‚ from there I will monitor the gas (hydrogen) produced and analyse the results. Prediction: I predict the higher the molarity of the hydrochloric acid the faster the rate of reaction therefore the quicker the gas will be produced in the specific
