Abstract: The rate of photosynthesis and cellular respiration can change in varying conditions. How does the rate change with varying degrees of temperature and light exposure? To test this algae beads were exposed to a CO2 indicator‚ which changes colors based on the level CO2 level present. The algae beads were exposed to two different variables‚ light and temperature and tested for color change‚ Ph‚ level‚ and CO2 absorbance level. The beads were exposed to a light and a dark condition‚ and another set

Introduction The purpose of this lab is to determine which pigments in a plant support or effect photosynthesis‚ based on starch production‚ which wavelengths of light are involved in photosynthesis‚ and identify plant pigments found in a plant leaf by means of paper chromatography. Life on Earth is dependent entirely on the energy from the Sun‚ not only to keep the planet at a suitable temperature but also to provide the energy required to sustain life. The energy of the Sun‚ in the form of

I can model Photosynthesis with The Law of Conservation Of matter and The Law of Conservation of energy. I know this because of the articles i’ve read the articles are Discovering the secrets of Photosynthesis‚ Joseph Priestley‚ Discoverer of Oxygen and Photosynthesis: Yucky chemistry Details. Photosynthesis is a good example of the Law of conservation of Energy because in the process of Photosynthesis the radiant energy is absorbed by the plant. The radiant energy is then turned into chemical

The purpose of the experiment is to determine the effects of sugar on photosynthesis in Elodea. Sugar water with Elodea‚ water with Elodea‚ and water (control) are used to test for photosynthesis. Five drops of sugar water were added to sugar water with Elodea beaker. The three beakers were left under normal light for photosynthesis to occur. After 60 minutes‚ NaOH solution was added to each beaker to test the volume of CO2. The result shows that both Sugar water with Elodea and water with Elodea

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

Enzyme Reaction Rates Under Different Conditions Introduction In this lab you will observe how the rate of a reaction is changed as certain factors are changed. You will observe how changing factors like temperature‚ pH‚ substrate concentration‚ and enzyme concentration changes the rate of an enzymatic reaction. In this experiment you will act as an enzyme by breaking toothpicks witch act as substrates. After observing the results of this experiment you will be able to determine what causes the

Light I | | INTRODUCTION | Light‚ form of energy visible to the human eye that is radiated by moving charged particles. Light from the Sun provides the energy needed for plant growth. Plants convert the energy in sunlight into storable chemical form through a process called photosynthesis. Petroleum‚ coal‚ and natural gas are the remains of plants that lived millions of years ago‚ and the energy these fuels release when they burn is the chemical energy converted from sunlight. When animals digest

Photosynthesis The leaves are the part of a plant where most photosynthesis takes place. If you cut a leaf in half and look at the cut end‚ it would look like this: Key: 1. Waxy cuticle: this gives the leaf a waterproof layer‚ which lets in light. 2. Upper epidermis: provides an upper surface. 3. Palisade cells: contain chloroplasts. 4. Spongy mesophyll: collection of damp‚ loosely packed cells. 5. Lower epidermis: layer of cells on the lower surface. 6. Air

The rate of photosynthesis in each of the beakers will depend what is wrapped around the beakers such as red and blue cellophane‚ as well as the control of the experiment the beaker without cellophane. The cellophane will directly impact the light getting absorbed as well as the amount of CO2 in the beakers. Which overall as result will determine the final color of the water mixed with bromothymol blue. What was being measured was the color of the water after CO2 has been blown in the beakers. The
