investigate the effect of carbon dioxide concentration on the rate of photosynthesis Introduction Photosynthesis is a process that is essential for every living organism. Organic substances‚ such as glucose‚ are made from carbon dioxide and water by light energy from the sun. The light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and converted to chemical energy. During the process‚ oxygen is released as a by-product. The rate of photosynthesis is affected by a few of factors‚ including light intensity‚ temperature

What Factors Affect the Rate of Photosynthesis in living leaves? Abstract: In this lab‚ four different types of leaves were tested to see the rate at which each leaf photosynthesized. This lab demonstrates how plants store light‚ capture light‚ and use light as energy for reproduction and growth‚ by photosynthesis. The control in this experiment was spinach‚ which was tested before any of the other plants were. The other plants that were tested were English Ivy‚ C4 Plant‚ and a multicolored

The correlation between the occurrence of photosynthesis and different lengths of light waves. Introduction Photosynthesis is an exceptionally interesting process that is used by some organisms and plants. In the conversion of light energy from the sun to chemical energy that is used as food‚ photosynthesis is used for the everyday undertakings by some organisms and plants during their life span. This complex method of energy production is also represented by the equation: 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6

Chlorophyll Extraction This easy science project shows simple and efficient method of chlorophyll extraction from a plant. This is only a demonstration of working method which can be refined and used for a full scale science project. Plants contain many pigments in different proportions. For flowering plants it’s mostly a combination of chlorophyll-A‚ chlorophyll-B‚ pheophytin and Carotenes. These pigments have shades of green‚ blue green‚ grayish‚ and yellow-orange. Their concentration is

Introduction Photosynthesis is the process by which autotrophic organisms convert light energy to chemical energy in the form of glucose. Without this process life on earth would be very different because every organism directly or indirectly depends on photosynthesis. Photosynthesis helps the plants to grow roots‚ leaves‚ flowers and fruits. It is an extremely important process because plant tissue serves as the bottom of every food chain. The process of photosynthesis is dictated by a number

relationship of different wavelengths of light and the rate of photosynthesis in spinach leafs. The rate of photosynthesis was measured every five min under light colors of white‚ green‚ red‚ blue and yellow under a light intensity of 2000 lux. The rate of photosynthesis was measured by the spinach disk method in which we replaced the air from the disks with sodium bicarbonate using a vacuum. Under photosynthesis‚ oxygen‚ a product of photosynthesis‚ replaced the bicarbonate solution‚ made the disks less

Introduction: Photosynthesis is the trapping of carbon dioxide and its subsequent reduction to carbohydrate‚ using hydrogen from water. Hexose sugars and starch are commonly formed so the following equation is often used: light energy 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 carbon dioxide water chlorophyll carbohydrate oxygen Photosynthesis consists of two stages: These are the light-dependent reactions‚ for which light energy is necessary‚ and the light independent reactions series of light-dependent reactions

The elodea plant‚ also called water weeds‚ are plants freshwater plants that grow underwater either loosely rooted or floating around freely. Elodea is native to North and South America and is also widely used as household aquarium vegetation. Elodea rapidly grows through fragments of the plant being dispersed in the water by water currents and human activities. Since no female elodea exists in the United States it has adapted a form of reproduction called fragmentation. Fragmentation is a form
