number: a1740189 Word Count: TITLE A study using an oxygen electrode to determine the effects of varying light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis of spinach‚ Spinacia oleracea. INTRODUCTION Photosynthesis is a two-stage process‚ each with multiple reactions‚ which must work concurrently with each other in order for plant survival. The first stage of photosynthesis is the light dependent reactions which occur in the thylakoids followed by the second stage called the Calvin cycle which occurs in

pump hydrogen ions across the inner mitochondrial membrane (Simon‚ Reece‚ & Dickey‚ 2010). Photosynthesis: • What is the overall goal of photosynthesis? The overall goal of photosynthesis is provide plants with energy which in return provides us with energy when we eat the plant. • Because photosynthesis only occurs in plants‚ why is it essential to animal life? Photosynthesis is essential to animal life because humans and animals rely on the energy from the plants to

converted into starch and stored. Oxygen is produced as a by-product. This process is called photosynthesis. Temperature‚ carbon dioxide concentration and light intensity are factors that can limit the rate of photosynthesis. Plants also need mineral ions‚ including nitrate and magnesium‚ for healthy growth. They suffer from poor growth in conditions where mineral ions are deficient. Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is the chemical change which happens in the leaves of green plants. It is the first step

producer plant. The alternative hypothesis was that the rate of photosynthesis increases as the distance of the light decreases. This is because light energy can excites chlorophyll molecules more clorophyll mulcoulse as the distance of the light decreases. Photosynthesis is a process in which the energy of light is used to produce organic molecules. In this process Oxygen is released; therefore the rate of photosynthesis can be calculated by measuring the rate of oxygen production

Irradiance limits the overall rate of photosynthesis under low light conditions. As irradiance increases‚ photosynthesis begins. C4 plants generally exhibit higher rates of photosynthesis when compared with C3 plants because of the fact that although photorespiration rates increase with increasing

and chlorophyll. This process of plants making their own food with sunlight and chlorophyll is called photosynthesis. The photosynthesis process involves sunlight‚ sugar‚ and chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is called a photoreceptor. It is found in the chloroplasts of a plant cell that is within green plants‚ and is what gives green plants their green color. Chlorophyll has a special role in photosynthesis. Chlorophyll molecules absorb light energy. Chlorophyll is a complex molecule‚ which has lead to a
