Lab Report: Understanding Photosynthesis Gen Biology Lab Abstract: This lab was called photosynthesis: understanding photosynthesis. It is a highly complex process that needs to be broken down in many steps to understand how it works. This lab covers the big components in photosynthesis including carbon dioxide intake‚ light consumption‚ and varying pigmentation. Introduction: Photosynthesis is a huge concept to learn and understand in the field of biology. Plants have their own special

Transporting Nutrients Pigments and photosynthesis 1. Distinguish between the strategies used by autotrophs and heterotrophs to obtain free energy for cellular processes. In other words‚ how and in what form does each capture and store that energy? 2. Explain how photosynthesis differs in eukaryotic organisms (with organelles such as chloroplasts) and in prokaryotic organisms (single-celled‚ no organelles). 3. How does a metabolic pathway such as photosynthesis suggest common ancestry? 4

2nd my partner and I conducted an experiment about the photosynthetic rate of spinach discs. We were hypothesizing that if we place all 6 individual cups underneath a different color of light‚ the spinach discs that produce enough oxygen will have the highest amount rise‚ which will show us the optimal color of light for photosynthesis. These different colors of light included blue‚ red‚ green‚ fluorescent‚ regular light‚ and classroom light. The classroom light was our control cup during the lab

Introduction Photosynthesis is a well perceived performance in which plants and other defined organisms use the energy of photons to convert carbon dioxide and water into a simple monosaccharide sugar known as glucose. Photosynthesis provides the fundamental energy source for essentially all living organisms. The most substantial and valuable byproduct of photosynthesis is oxygen‚ one of the most abundant elements living organisms depend on. Photosynthesis occurs in many organisms

The Affect of Different Colored Light on Plant Growth Puprose: Just as we are happier and healthier when we receive adequate sunlight‚ so are the plants and vegetation that we grow. Sunlight‚ or other means of artificial lighting is essential to help a plant grow into maturity. It is also necessary in aiding the plant to get the nutrients it requires to mature into a strong healthy plant. The process of the sun or other light helping to feed the plant is called photosynthesis. The light acts

Photosynthesis is a process that allows organisms to trap sunlight energy and convert it directly into potential chemical energy. Enzymes are required in order for the biochemical reactions to occur because they act as a catalyst to convert energy from sunlight into chemical potential energy. Two consecutive steps allow the photosynthesis process to take place. These steps are light-independent reactions‚ and light dependent reactions. The occurrences of Light-independent reactions happen in the

Aquaponics system is a food production system that combines conventional aquaculture‚ raising aquatic animals such as snails‚ fish‚ crayfish or prawns in tanks‚ with hydroponics cultivating plants in water in a symbiotic environment. In normal aquaculture‚ excretions from the animals being raised can accumulate in the water‚ increasing toxicity. In an aquaponic system‚ water from an aquaculture system is fed to a hydroponic system where the by-products are broken down by nitrogen-fixing bacteria

Factors that Affect the Rate of Reaction of Peroxidase Purpose: To determine the effect of various factors on the rate of reaction between an enzyme and its substrate‚ and also to determine the optimal ranges under which the enzyme activity is maximized. Also to determine whether saline and alcohol are inhibitors or activators Hypothesis: PH factor prediction: I predict that as the pH increases so the activity of the enzyme will increase until it reaches optimum pH range (pH 7) because the
