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

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

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

Philippines Abstract Verification of the relationship between frequency of sound and its wavelength and the determination of the velocity and the speed of sound in different mediums was the main focus of this experiment. The speed of sound and its velocity was determined using the resonance tube apparatus and Kundt’s tube respectively. A vernier microphone was used to note the time interval between wavelengths. The results obtained on the second and third experiment gathered a minimal compared error

6‚ 2012 Photosynthesis Lab 1. Introduction: Light dependent reactions are the first phase of photosynthesis. It requires light to happen and happens in the thylakoid membrane in a chloroplast. The light energy is absorbed from the sun and converted into chemical energy. Which is then stored temporarily in ATP and NADPH. Hypothesis: I predict that the wavelength intensity will affect the rate of photosynthesis more than light intensity will. 2. Data: # ATP | Light Intensity (Lux) | Time

Introduction Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplast and is the use of sunlight energy for cell processes. It happens through a number of chemical reactions and the transfer of electrons. It is used as the source of energy (ATP) for plants. The reaction equation for photosynthesis is H2O + CO2 + (Light) (CH2O)N + CO2 In the Hill reaction‚ Robert Hill showed how chloroplasts in water can still function if there is light and an electron acceptor to release oxygen. He proved that the oxygen

May 2012 The Effect of Light on Snapdragon Flowers Introduction: It is a well-known fact that plants need light for nourishment‚ yet many people are ignorant of the reasons behind this. The biological process by which green plants utilize carbon dioxide‚ water and sunlight to form their own food is called photosynthesis (unknown). Past research has demonstrated that red and blue rays maximize this process (Rothenburger‚ 1993). The purpose of this experiment was to examine the effect of several different

How do limiting factors affect the rate of photosynthesis? Rate is the measurement of an amount of product or time. In the case of the rate of photosynthesis‚ it is measuring the gain of mass or growth over time. If the plant is an aquatic one that grows in water the rate of photosynthesis can be measured by counting oxygen bubbles or the volume of gas produced in a measured time period. A limiting factor is something that is present in the environment that has a short supply and because of that
