Free Light Carbon dioxide
Factors Affecting Photosynthesis Low light intensity lowers the rate of photosynthesis. As the intensity is increased the rate also increases. However‚ after reaching an intensity of 10‚000 lux (lux is the unit for measuring light intensity) there is no effect on the rate. Very high intensity may‚ in fact‚ slow down the rate as it bleaches the chlorophyll. Normal sunlight (usually with an intensity of about 100‚000 lux) is quite sufficient for a normal rate of photosynthesis. Open and Closed

possible by my AP Biology teacher’s assignment. If not for her‚ I would never have sat down and composed a four page script about Photosynthesis. I would also like to thank my supporting family for listening to my complaints and frustrations throughout this process. My gratitude goes out to the AP Bio Facebook group as well‚ for answering all the questions I had about Photosynthesis. Thank you all very much.

rate of photosynthesis until optimal levels are reached‚ then plateauing of results will occur. The hypothesis was refuted by evidence shown in the results (table two) as 0.5% concentration produced the greatest rate of photosynthesis‚ 3.10x10-3. Concentrations of 5% and 10% were deemed unusable as the agapanthus discs would not submerge‚ therefore the results did not enable a range of data. The results of the data indicate that 0.5% NaHCO3 is optimal in determining the rate of photosynthesis‚ 3.10x10-3

Evidence of Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is the process during which a plant’s chlorophyll traps light energy and sugars (glucose) are produced. In plants‚ photosynthesis occurs only in cells with chloroplasts. Water (H2O)‚ carbon dioxide (CO2) and light energy are required. The light energy is absorbed by the green pigment‚ chlorophyll‚ and is converted into chemical energy‚ which causes the water drawn from the soil to split into molecules of hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen combines with

The Concentration of CO2 in the Atmosphere Introduction Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colorless‚ odorless‚ non-flammable gas that can be produced by cellular respiration and burning of fossil fuels. Many types of industries such as breweries‚ mining ore and the manufacturing of carbonated drinks‚ drugs‚ disinfectants‚ pottery‚ and baking powder; utilize the CO2 gas (Appendix C). Recently Scientist proposed a theory in which CO2 concentration levels above 450ppm will lead to dramatic and potentially

Normally‚ people think CO2 is the chief source that affects global warming; however‚ methane is more dangerous than CO2. Among the total emissions in 2013‚ which was 6‚673 million metric tons‚ carbon dioxide took around 82%‚ while methane was 10%. It seems methane doesn’t occupy much of gas emissions. However‚ the potential power of methane weighs than CO2’s. The level of methane in the air has gradually increased by man-made activities. Methane’s live in the atmosphere is 12 years (EPA‚ 2010).

Introduction: Photosynthesis is a process to which some autotrophs such as plants produce their own food. It has two stages or reactions light-dependent and light-dependent reactions. The light dependent reactions are the first stage‚ where energy from sunlight is captures in Photosystem 2 and then 1‚ the electrons generated in Photosystem 1 then moves along the electron transport chain. The moving of electrons causes a hydrogen ion gradient that is used in the final step to produce ATP‚ by the
