The Effect of Distance from Light Source on the Rate of Photosynthesis Introduction: The effect of distance from the light source on the rate of photosynthesis was tested in this experiment. This was tested to find ways to accelerate the rate of photosynthesis. If plants are placed closer to a source of light‚ then their rate of photosynthesis will be higher because they are receiving more light. Experimental Design: The independent variable is the distance of the beaker from the light source

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

Based on the prompt above‚ “Investigate how light and darkness contribute to the cycling of carbon through both cellular respiration and photosynthesis of a plant” we devised a hypothesis that states‚ If we place the two test tube‚ one with carbonated water and the other regular water‚ with the Elodea inside a dark environment it will perform cellular respiration as it will not receive enough light energy to perform photosynthesis. From the result of our experiment we found that the test tube with

Light is everywhere in our world. We need it to see: it carries information from the world to our eyes and brains. Seeing colors and shapes is second nature to us‚ yet light is a perplexing phenomenon when we study it more closely. Here are some things to think about: Our brains and eyes act together to make extraordinary things happen in perception. Movies are sequences of still pictures. Magazine pictures are arrays of dots. Light acts like particles—little light bullets—that stream from the

Photosynthesis Maria Diaz March 12‚2012 Pre-Lab Questions 1. Which two variables are controlled in a similar manner? The two variables that can be controlled in a similar manner are CO2 & the light level. 2. How can you get the results to the investigation faster? You can get the results to the investigation faster by adjusting the speed at the bottom of the water weed simulation. 3. How will you be able to determine the rate of photosynthesis in this simulation

Determination of rate of photosynthesis INTRODUCTION Photosynthesis is the major process by which light from the sun is captured by plants‚ algae and some bacteria to produce energy. It is a process in which light energy is converted into chemical energy which is then stored in sugars. Photosynthesis occurs in two stages‚ light-dependant reactions and light-independent reactions. In light-dependent reactions the chlorophyll traps light energy which is then used to excite electrons and split water

1. Explain how photosynthesis and respiration are linked in order to provide you with energy from the food you eat. Include in your paper: •Complete descriptions of photosynthesis and aerobic respiration. •Describe how these two processes are linked between plants and animals based on the reactants and products (water‚ carbon dioxide‚ glucose and oxygen) of both pathways. •Include a description of how energy is transferred from sunlight to ATP‚ from ATP to sugars‚ and from sugars

Biology 11 December 12 ‚ 2012 Photosynthesis and global warming Introduction: Photosynthesis can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. It represents a sink for carbon dioxide in the environment. Reducing forests and other vegetation can produce a net increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide. Therefore‚ more photosynthesis might act to reduce global warming. On the other hand‚ this is a more complicated title than it appears at first. Photosynthesis: The process in green plants

INTRODUCTION Overall‚ light energy drives a flow of electrons along a system of carriers from H2O to NADP+. The carriers are bound to the membrane between reaction centres. Though their precise arrangement is not known‚ the carriers seem to be organized so that the electron flow cause H+ to move from the stroma to the space within the thylakoids. The resulting difference in H+ concentration across the membrane represents a store of energy that is though to drive he formation of ATP. According to
