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

Effects of Photosynthesis of Spinach Leaves in Different Light Conditions Introduction Photosynthesis is the process of converting solar energy‚ carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ and water (H2O) into carbohydrates (CH2O) and oxygen (O2). Sometimes the end product of photosynthesis is glucose (C6H12O6). Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells. Here membranous thylakoids are stacked in grana surrounded by the stroma. During the light reactions‚ pigments within the thylakoid membranes

Plants can make their own food through photosynthesis and then break it down for usable energy through the process of cellular respiration. Analyze and explain how your life might be different if you could make your own food through photosynthesis. First of all if we were to be able to make our own food trough photosynthesis‚ we should have chlorophyll‚ which is the important pigment in absorbing sunlight. As an effect we will all be green in color. This may be good as there will be only one race

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

How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis? Poorly Pondweed Questions 1) How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis? 2) How does temperature affect the rate of photosynthesis? sunlight carbon dioxide + water glucose + oxygen chlorophyll sunlight 6CO2 + 6H2O àààààà C6H12O6 + 602 chlorophyll Prediction I predict that the more intense the light‚ the higher the rate of photosynthesis. To photosynthesise‚ plants need light. It provides the energy for the process

This experiment focuses on the effect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis. In simple terms this refers to how the production rate of the products of photosynthesis (oxygen and glucose) will be affected by a light source at different distances. The hypothesis states that “If there is a higher light intensity‚ then more oxygen and glucose molecules will be produced‚ and the rate of photosynthesis will increase.” This hypothesis was accepted. This was determined by counting the number of

Abstract For this lab the rate of photosynthesis was analyzed upon plant leaves. A sample of a light exposed and a not-light exposed leave were used to clearly identify the role of sunlight in the process of producing and storing energy. Aim We are trying to find proof‚ to demonstrate the necessity of light and chlorophyll in the process of photosynthesis. Background Photosynthesis occurs in organisms which contain chlorophyll. It’s a process that involves the chloroplasts to synthesize glucose

Photosynthesis is the process of transforming light energy into chemical energy that is used to build carbohydrates. Light reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast‚ sunlight and water are the substrates for this reaction. The conversion of light energy can go through two pathways: noncyclic and cyclic. In noncyclic light transport‚ both Photosystems II and I are involved producing ATP and NADPH. Photosystem II absorbs 680 nm of light energy‚ with the oxidation of water; chlorophyll

6.1 Overview of Photosynthesis 6.1.1 Identify the cellular structures where photosynthesis occurs. A: It occurs in plants inside of the chloroplast 6.1.2 Locate the structures within a chloroplast and list their functions. A: A double membrane surrounds a fluid-filled area called the stroma. A third membrane system within the stroma forms flattened stacks called thylakoids‚ which in some places are stacked to from grana. The space within each thylakoid is believed to be connected to the space
