The effect of wavelength of light on the rate of photosynthesis was investigated in this experiment. The results from Figure 13 suggest that white light‚ containing all wavelengths of coloured light‚ has the highest rate of photosynthesis. Purple light had the second highest efficiency‚ followed by blue‚ red‚ and yellow light. Green light was significantly less efficient‚ producing the second lowest pH reading (Figure 14). The samples exposed to no light had the lowest rate of photosynthesis. The

Living things get energy to do things through photosynthesis‚ food molecule breakdown‚ build up‚ storage‚ and lastly cellular respiration. All of these ideas are the reason that myself and others have energy to do anything and everything. Photosynthesis is one way plants(plants are the main source of energy for all things)get energy to do things. The reactants of this are water‚ carbon dioxide‚ and although light energy is not a reactant‚ it is necessary once the energy from the seed is gone. Carbon

Photosynthesis review Short Answer 1. How do heterotrophs obtain energy? 2. What is ATP‚ and when is energy released from it? 3. Write the overall equation for photosynthesis in both symbols and words. 4. Photosystems I and II are both located in the thylakoid membrane. What advantage does their proximity provide? 5. What does the Calvin cycle do? 6. What is the difference between an autotroph and a heterotroph? Give an example of each type of organism. 7. Explain how heterotrophs

Photosynthesis Lab Report Purpose: To research the effect of different wavelengths (colors) of light on plant growth during photosynthesis. Background Information: Photosynthesis is the process by which sunlight is captured by chloroplasts within plant cells and turned into energy. This energy is used to help the plant grow roots‚ leaves‚ flowers and fruit. Energy is required by living things

Lab Report: Understanding Photosynthesis Gen Biology Lab Abstract: This lab was called photosynthesis: understanding photosynthesis. It is a highly complex process that needs to be broken down in many steps to understand how it works. This lab covers the big components in photosynthesis including carbon dioxide intake‚ light consumption‚ and varying pigmentation. Introduction: Photosynthesis is a huge concept to learn and understand in the field of biology. Plants have their own special

How does photosynthesis model the Law of Conservation of Matter and The Law of Conservation of Energy? Photosynthesis models the Law of Conservation of Matter and the Law of Conservation of Energy‚ and there is evidence from some articles that were read to prove this statement. First‚ the Law of Conservation of Matter is modeled in photosynthesis‚ because in the Photosynthesis for Kids article it stated‚”Photosynthesis occurs when Chlorophyll‚ a green pigment that collects lights‚ consumes radiant

process of photosynthesis requires sunlight for its nutrients to make their way into the chlorophyll on green plants. This suggests that without direct sunlight‚ photosynthesis will not be completed correctly or the plants functions will not work properly. Majority of plants that undergo photosynthesis have chlorophyll stored within them‚ it is what gives them their green color. However‚ there are few species of plants that don’t acquire chlorophyll‚ but still undergo the process of photosynthesis. Specific

Photosynthesis Matt Lazar 5/13/96 8th Hr. When you and me eat‚ we find our food. When plants eat‚ they make their own food and energy. They make their food and energy through a process called photosynthesis. Through photosynthesis oxygen is also produced. Photosynthesis is "a process in which green plants synthesize carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water....The reverse of this reaction provides energy for plants‚ for animals that eat plants‚ for animals that eat animals that eat plants"
Premium Chlorophyll Photosynthesis
In photosynthesis‚ light energy is transformed into chemical energy‚ thus chemical energy is the product. This is different from respiration because respiration transforms chemical energy into energy usable by cells; in this case chemical energy is the source. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts‚ using the chlorophyll inside of the chloroplasts‚ while respiration occurs in the mitochondria. Photosynthesis produces oxygen as a by-product‚ while aerobic respiration requires oxygen to even work

Investigation 5: Photosynthesis Problem: If the leaf disks are treated in a way you know increases the net rate of photosynthesis‚ should they start to float faster or slower? Why? Hypothesis: If the leaf disks were bathed in a red light source‚ then the rate of photosynthesis would increase than leaf disks that are bathed in a regular light source because chlorophyll absorbs red pigment and reflects green pigments. Therefore‚ shining a red light source onto the leaf disks would cause them
