In this experiment‚ the class examined how the rate of photosynthesis was affected by different light colors at different distances in shoots of a Cabomba plant. The plants were placed in two different beakers‚ one with recently boiled and cooled distilled water and the other with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. The three different color photoflood lamps used for this experiment were white‚ red‚ and green at four distances of thirty‚ sixty‚ ninety‚ and one hundred-twenty centimeters away

known as photosynthesis. When photosynthesis is functioning as it should‚ in its fullest capacity‚ all organisms benefit from it in some way. Furthermore‚ scientists aim to better understand the photosynthetic process to help enhance the efficiency and quality of life on Earth. By fully understanding the function of photosynthesis‚ some environmental adjustments can then be made to refine the photosynthetic process. In this lab specifically (Lab No. 7)‚ we isolated specific color wavelengths and recorded

Photosynthesis (pron.: /foʊtoʊˈsɪnθəsɪs/; from the Greek φώτο- [photo-]‚ "light‚" and σύνθεσις [synthesis]‚ "putting together"‚ "composition") is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert the light energy captured from the sun into chemical energy that can be used to fuel the organism’s activities. Photosynthesis occurs in plants‚ algae‚ and many species of bacteria‚ but not in archaea. Photosynthetic organisms are called photoautotrophs‚ since they can create their own food. In plants

Background Theory Photosynthesis: Plants require water from the soil‚ sunlight and carbon dioxide found in the atmosphere for growth and development. In the process of photosynthesis‚ carbon dioxide and water – in the presence of chlorophyll and light energy – are converted into sugar and oxygen‚ which is given off as a by-product. Generally‚ as sunlight increases in intensity‚ the rate of photosynthesis also increases [1]. This means greater food production within the plant. Many garden vegetables

Colour of Light Effects on Plant Growth Introduction Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy to chemical energy and storing it in the bonds of sugar. Plants need water‚ Co2 and light energy to create sugar. Photosynthesis occurs mainly in leaves and in 2 phases: light reaction and dark reaction. The light reactions converts light energy to chemical (Biology.clc.uc.edu‚ 2014). This chemical reaction must take place in the thylakoid membrane. Chlorophyll (the green pigment involved

The correlation between the occurrence of photosynthesis and different lengths of light waves. Introduction Photosynthesis is an exceptionally interesting process that is used by some organisms and plants. In the conversion of light energy from the sun to chemical energy that is used as food‚ photosynthesis is used for the everyday undertakings by some organisms and plants during their life span. This complex method of energy production is also represented by the equation: 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6

Abstract For this lab the rate of photosynthesis was analyzed upon plant leaves. A sample of a light exposed and a not-light exposed leave were used to clearly identify the role of sunlight in the process of producing and storing energy. Aim We are trying to find proof‚ to demonstrate the necessity of light and chlorophyll in the process of photosynthesis. Background Photosynthesis occurs in organisms which contain chlorophyll. It’s a process that involves the chloroplasts to synthesize glucose

The Effect of Different Light Colours on Plant Growth Dianne R. Calub Marshela Alpha B. Gesmundo BS-Environmental Science Prof. Jayson Antonio Chemistry Department January 04‚ 2012 Abstract The goal of this study is to learn how the colour of light affects photosynthesis‚ to identify the effects of different coloured lights on plant growth‚ and to identify the potential use of different light colours as a growth regulator. An experiment was performed with the help of 7 students. Mustard

Introduction: Photosynthesis can be defined as light energy being converted into chemical energy‚ which is a very important process for plants and other organisms. Light can be described in terms of light quantity and light quality. Both of these have an affect on photosynthesis. The more light a plant absorbs the more the plant is able to photosynthesize. This light is absorbed though pigments which have specific interactions with certain light waves (colors). The goal of my first experiment

Jeanette Jones Biology Period:2nd Research Essay #2 Photosynthesis is a very beneficial process. It consists of products that are an good impact on different things like its impact on species. Plants are important in regards to everything living and everything period. One way I believe photosynthesis is most beneficial in its relation to species. All living things go through a process. Plants in particular are very important
