relationship of different wavelengths of light and the rate of photosynthesis in spinach leafs. The rate of photosynthesis was measured every five min under light colors of white‚ green‚ red‚ blue and yellow under a light intensity of 2000 lux. The rate of photosynthesis was measured by the spinach disk method in which we replaced the air from the disks with sodium bicarbonate using a vacuum. Under photosynthesis‚ oxygen‚ a product of photosynthesis‚ replaced the bicarbonate solution‚ made the disks less

Examination of How Different Colours of Light Affect The Rate of Photosynthesis INTRODUCTION Plants are an essential part of the food chain required by all living things to survive. The growing world population and subsequent alteration to the natural environment has placed increased pressure on available plant resources. This is particularly evident in the area of agriculture‚ where optimum crop productivity is important to meet the increased demand for food by the growing world population

3. Explain how the products of photosynthesis are transported‚ partitioned and allocated during plant growth and reproduction. Photosynthesis has been the focus of much attention than any other physiological process in flora physiology. Photosynthesis is a complex plant metabolic process‚ similar to respiration and fermentation‚ in which a plant can synthesize organic matter using light and chlorophyll. According to Kirk 1994: Photosynthesis is a complex physic-chemical process that is the central

as the graphical representation of the rate of photosynthesis against wavelengths of light. The graph shows how effective the different wavelengths of light are at enabling photosynthesis‚ and this can be determined by measuring either the carbon dioxide consumed or by the amount of oxygen released. Chlorophyll is a pigment found in the chloroplasts of organisms. In plants‚ it is the chlorophyll that absorbs the light energy and drives photosynthesis. On the absorption spectrum‚ chlorophyll a and

Title: The success of photosynthesis in geranium leaves using visible light wavelengths obstructed by black paper‚ and red‚ blue‚ and green translucent filters. I. Abstract Photosynthesis is a process in which plants use light‚ water‚ and carbon dioxide to produce sugars‚ water and oxygen. Chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b‚ in the chloroplasts of a leaf‚ are responsible for absorbing wavelengths of light for use in photosynthesis with red and blue wavelengths being optimal. Testing

Lesson 4 Laboratory: Photosynthesis Introduction: Elodea is a species of aquatic plant often called waterweed. Like other plants‚ Elodea absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen during photosynthesis. In this lab‚ an Elodea specimen is submerged in water under a lamp with a filter that can change the color of the light. We will measure Elodea’s rate of photosynthesis by measuring the amount of oxygen it produces. We will investigate the effects of light color and light intensity on Elodea’s rate

Carbon Dioxide Understanding and Production in Elodea‚ Snail‚ and Goldfish Introduction This report discusses an experiment to study the rate of aerobic cellular respiration in aquatic organisms which are Elodea (aquatic plant)‚ Snail‚ and Goldfish‚ by measuring carbon dioxide production. Because ectothermic organisms (Elodea‚ snail‚ and goldfish) were placed in completely covered beaker‚ each organism would produce different amount of carbon dioxide. The objective of the experiment is to measure
