Introduction Photosynthesis is the process by which autotrophic organisms convert light energy to chemical energy in the form of glucose. Without this process life on earth would be very different because every organism directly or indirectly depends on photosynthesis. Photosynthesis helps the plants to grow roots‚ leaves‚ flowers and fruits. It is an extremely important process because plant tissue serves as the bottom of every food chain. The process of photosynthesis is dictated by a number

light on the rate of photosynthesis Introduction This experiment was performed to investigate the effects of different wavelengths of light on the rate of photosynthesis. If a multiple colored film petri dishes are place under a 50 watt lamp‚ then the rate of photosynthesis will be greater for those with red‚ blue and clear film‚ than those with green and black film. We believed the petri dishes with the red‚ blue and clear film would produce the best results of photosynthesis as compared to the

AP Biology Lab Four: Plant Pigments and Photosynthesis Abstract: The purpose of this lab is to separate and identify pigments and other molecules within plant cells by a process called chromatography. We will also be measuring the rate of photosynthesis in isolated chloroplasts. Beta carotene‚ the most abundant carotene in plants‚ is carried along near the solvent front because it is very soluble in the solvent being used and because it forms no hydrogen bonds with cellulose. Xanthophyll is found

Introduction: Photosynthesis is the trapping of carbon dioxide and its subsequent reduction to carbohydrate‚ using hydrogen from water. Hexose sugars and starch are commonly formed so the following equation is often used: light energy 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 carbon dioxide water chlorophyll carbohydrate oxygen Photosynthesis consists of two stages: These are the light-dependent reactions‚ for which light energy is necessary‚ and the light independent reactions series of light-dependent reactions

Van Neil propose a general equation for photosynthesis as follows: CO2 + 2H2A light (CH2O) + H2O + 2A Carbon Hydrogen carbonhydrate Water Dioxide donator The hydrogen donator H2A can be H2O‚ H2S‚ H2 or any other substance capable of donating hydrogen to CO2 in the process of

also releases the chemical carbon dioxide. • ETC produces water when the electrons combine with water. What is the formula for photosynthesis? • The formula for photosynthesis is CO2+H20+Light- C6H12O6+O2 How do cellular respiration and photosynthesis work as one large cycle? • Cellular respiration and photosynthesis work as one large cycle because in photosynthesis the plants release the chemical oxygen‚ which is necessary for us to survive. When a person breathes in that oxygen it is then delivered

Investigating the Effect of Light Wavelength on the Rate of Photosynthesis Method Take a 250cm3 beaker and fill it with distilled water. Use distilled water so there are no impurities to disrupt photosynthesis. Then take x cm’s of elodia and put it in the beaker. Cover the elodia with the large end of a funnel and the tip of the funnel cover with a test tube. Then direct a light onto this experiment. Measure the amount of bubbles that come from the elodia for x minutes. A prediction

Introduction: Copper has played a vital role in past civilizations and continues to do so today due to its many properties as a metal. Although advantageous in today’s economy and also in human bodies‚ high concentrations of copper can prove toxic to our health and even pollutant to the environment. By altering the element through a number of chemical reactions including redox‚ metathesis‚ decomposition‚ and single replacement reactions‚ the cycle will be complete once solid copper is recovered.

Chlorophyll Extraction This easy science project shows simple and efficient method of chlorophyll extraction from a plant. This is only a demonstration of working method which can be refined and used for a full scale science project. Plants contain many pigments in different proportions. For flowering plants it’s mostly a combination of chlorophyll-A‚ chlorophyll-B‚ pheophytin and Carotenes. These pigments have shades of green‚ blue green‚ grayish‚ and yellow-orange. Their concentration is

processes in our bodies (king). However‚ from here in the process can turn aerobic‚ meaning using oxygen if present or anaerobic meaning when oxygen is not present in a process called fermentation. The process of fermentation creates two ATP and CO2 molecules and 2 three carbon molecules opposed to the 34 made in the aerobic process called the electron transport chain. Fermentation happens especially when a quick source of energy is needed due to the fast use of oxygen in the aerobic part of respiration
