Both photosynthesis and cellular respiration are the main pathways of energy transportation in organisms. However‚ the reactants and the products are exact opposites in photosynthesis and in cellular respiration. In photosynthesis‚ cells take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) by absorbing energy from the sun‚ and then the cells release oxygen (O2) and store glucose (C6H12O6). The formula of photosynthesis is: Light energy 6CO2+6H2O → C6H12O6+6O2

oxygen from the air into our blood‚ nourishing the trillions of cells that make up our bodies. The lungs also clean the blood of carbon dioxide waste created when cells use oxygen (Natural Geographic‚ 2012). In experiment one I hypothesize that the effect of respiration changes on carbon dioxide‚ concentration in exhaled air will be greatest the longer the respiration rate is increased. I predict that during normal breathing the time it takes to detect the carbon dioxide will be greatest.

Introduction: Trying to find a good‚ quantitative procedure that students can use for exploring photosynthesis is a challenge. The standard procedures such as counting oxygen bubbles generated by an elodea stem tend to not be “student” proof or reliable. This is a particular problem if your laboratory instruction emphasizes student-generated questions. Over the years‚ I have found the floating leaf disk assay technique to be reliable and understandable to students. Once the students are familiar

Practical 5: determination of activation energy of an enzymed catalyzed reaction Introduction: enzymes are complex chemicals that control reactions in living cells. They are biochemical catalysts‚ speeding up reactions that would occur too slowly to be of any usefulness to an organism. Although in organisms‚ it is not necessary for the reactions to be at maximum rate at all times. Enzymes interact with other molecules to produce a stable system in which the products are made when they are

ADI Lab investigation: Photosynthesis Introduction and goals: In our experiment we worked with photosynthesis‚ which is the process of light energy‚ CO2 and H2O being turned into food for the plant. CO2+H2O+ Light energy=C6H12O+O2 is the formula for photosynthesis. Our group hypothesis was trying to determine weather o2‚ water‚ or the nutrients of the soil determine the mass of the water. The guided question was “Where does the mass that makes up a plant come from?” Methods:

Investigation into the photosynthetic activity of isolated chloroplasts from spinach beet to various light conditions. Introduction Chlorophyll‚ an important pigment in chloroplasts‚ is an essential component in photosynthesis; converting electromagnetic radiation from the sun into potential chemical energy. Photons excite electrons in chlorophyll which move through the electron transport chain‚ resulting in energy being stored in the bonds of ATP and NADPH. The flow of electron through the electron
