Photosynthesis and Respiration Objectives: In this activity we will review the process of photosynthesis and cellular respiration‚ and become familiar with the use of a pH indicator for investigating these processes. Following this activity your group will generate a new research question about photosynthesis or respiration‚ and utilize the pH indicator system for the experiment that your group will design‚ implement and interpret. Introduction: Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and

Cellular Energetics: The Rate of Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis over Time Among Various Variables By: Ethan Barnett Introduction Cellular Energetics is the broad term that encompasses both cellular respiration and photosynthesis and refers to how energy changes and reacts within cells. Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down sugars (ATP) in order to produce energy for other chemical reactions. Cellular respiration takes place mainly in the mitochondria and the reactants

Effects of Activators and Ethanol on Fermentation Rates In this lab we examined how the rate of fermentation is influenced by the type of substrate‚ and activators and inhibitors. We used four fermentation tubes in which we separately combined yeast with MgSO4‚ pyruvate‚ ethanol‚ and glucose. At five minute intervals we recorded the volume of gas produced in each fermentation tube. Our results are displayed in the graph. Our results supported the prediction that pyruvate is an activator

How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis? Does the amount of light intensity increase the rate of photosynthesis in a pondweed? Design aspect 1 Introduction My investigation will be centered on measuring the rate of photosynthesis and whether or not light intensity will affect it. The formula of photosynthesis is Carbon dioxide + water oxygen + glucose with the arrow referring to light energy as a means to convert the CO2 and H2O into oxygen and glucose. Logically‚ one would

Lab Design Research question: How does temperature affect on the rate of photosynthesis? Variables: Independent variables: temperature of water where the elodea(plant) is going to be placed Dependent variable: the amount of oxygen produced by photosynthesis reaction Control variables: Light concentration entering the beaker Length of the plant Volume of the water to be precise And of the NaHCO3 What is the variable to be controlled. Why does it need to be controlled. How will you

Observing Various Cells Under The Microscope Chapter 6 Lillian Hayner Biology 211 Lab section 14 New Mexico State University Elodea Wet Mount If cytoplasmic screening is occurring‚ you will see the chloroplast circulating around the cell. Cytoplasmic streaming is controlled by microfilaments in the cell’s cytoskeleton. These filaments of actin and myosin move cellular contents in an active process that uses energy released by breaking ATP down in ADP. How might a cell benefit by
