Chlorine in Photosynthesis Experiment Abstract Photosynthesis the means by which green plants and different types of organisms use light from the sun to synthesize foods from CO2 and H2O. Chlorine is a chemical element usually in the form of a yellow-green gas and is a strong oxidizing agent. Elodea is a type of aquatic plant also known as waterweed that is native to North America. In the experiment that took place‚ the effect of chlorine in the presence of photosynthesis reactions were studied

PHOTOSYNTHESIS LAB Alyssa Wright VARIABLE: LIGHT INTENSITY AIM: to investigate the effect of light intensity (lux) on the amount of oxygen produced (number of bubbles) HYPOTHESIS: I predict that the rate of oxygen produced increases‚ as the light intensity increases‚ but only to a point. I predict this will happen because the plant will have enough carbon dioxide and water to keep up with the amount of light that there is. When there is less light intensity‚ photosynthesis will happen

the 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

THE EFFECT OF LIGHT INTENSITY DURING PLANT GROWTH ON THE SIZE OF STOMATA IN DICOT LEAVES Christina Durgan Nicole Romero Vanessa Chilunda Biology 101‚ Thursday 1:15pm Claire Burkum 5 December‚ 2013 1. The hypothesis of this study is that the size of the stomata on the dicot leaves exposed to higher light intensity will be smaller compared to the size of the stomata on the dicot leaves exposed to lower light intensity. This is because at higher light intensity there is an increase in environmental

Investigations in Light Intensity Change through Angular Displacement Guiding Question How does the intensity of light change as the angle of incidence to the light source increases? Prediction of Results Predict what you think will happen and what type of equation and graph might best fit the data representing the intensity of a light as the angle of incidence increases. Objective After completing this lesson‚ a student should be able to analyze light intensity striking a surface at varying

Photosynthesis Green plants absorb light energy using chlorophyll in their leaves. They use it to react carbon dioxide with water to make a sugar called glucose. The glucose is used in respiration‚ or converted into starch and stored. Oxygen is produced as a by-product. This process is called photosynthesis. Temperature‚ carbon dioxide concentration and light intensity are factors that can limit the rate of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis summary Photosynthesis [photosynthesis: The chemical change

How does the relationship between salt concentration effect osmosis in the aquatic plant Elodea? Quantitative data From observing the cells under a microscope‚ we see that they are continuously moving and therefore are alive. We have observed that when the cells are in the 10% sodium chloride‚ the chloroplasts are positioned to the sides of the cell wall and the cytoplasm is more expanded. Cells in the distilled water are slightly smaller than the cells in the sodium chloride solution and

THE EFFECTS OF CIGARETTE SMOKE TO PHOTOSYNTHESIS Increased Carbon Dioxide Smoke of all kinds‚ including cigarette smoke‚ increases the amount of carbon dioxide where it is present (since smoke is itself produced via combustion). Plants use carbon dioxide to make sugars (during photosynthesis). Its increased abundance‚ therefore‚ makes it easier for the plant to obtain. Thus‚ smoking near a plant actually makes it easier for that plant to obtain much-needed carbon dioxide. Hampering Photosynthesis

presented is based on the information and outcomes of an experiment conducted by Claire Dunne‚ Eilis Brien and myself about the effects of light intensity‚ representing the three seasons of summer‚ spring‚ autumn and winter‚ on the transpiration rate of mangrove shoots. Abstract: The overall aim of this report was the conduct an experiment based how different light intensity levels‚ representing the four seasons in a year: summer‚ spring‚ autumn and winter‚ affects the transpiration rate in a mangrove

Unit 5: Photosynthesis & Respiration Date: ____________ Lab #14: Photosynthesis and Carbon Dioxide Consumption Elodea and Bromothymol Blue Photosynthesis is the process by which plants take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere‚ add water‚ and use the energy of sunlight to produce sugar. Write the equation for photosynthesis: Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast‚ an organelle in plant cells that contains the molecule chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs the energy of sunlight. That light energy
