Light Intensity Characteristics of Photocells The photoelectric effect is defined as the emission of electrons from a material by visible light. The cadmium sulfide photocell is used to act as a conductor once exposed to light‚ allowing light to travel through. However it also acts as an electric resister (an opposition to a current flowing in a circuit) once not exposed to light. The photocell serves today ’s cause in a sufficient manner. It is used for a variety of reasons but it is mainly

purpose of this lab was to investigate whether veins affect photosynthesis rate. It was predicted that having veins would decrease the rate because chloroplast might be less frequent due to the vascular tissue. For this experiment‚ 4 groups were set up: veins and no veins in CO2 solution‚ and veins and no veins in distilled water‚ the distilled water groups served as controls. These 4 groups were placed under a light bulb in order for photosynthesis to occur. No disks experience movement in the first

Enzymes are a type of protein. They are catalysts meaning they speed up the rate of the reaction. Enzymes activity depends on the concentration of the substrate‚ temperature and the pH. The more concentrated the substrate is the more reactive the enzyme is. The optimal pH for an enzyme is 7.5 and the optimal temperature for an enzyme is 53 Celsius. Extremes in the temperature and the pH of an enzyme can denature therefore destroy it. The enzyme that is in this experiment is Amylase. Amylase is found

Investigation of the rate of photosynthesis of pondweed. Research question: How does the concentration of sodium bicarbonate relate to the amount of oxygen produced by Elodea (Canadian pond weed) in the process of photosynthesis? Hypothesis: If there is an increase in concentration of sodium bicarbonate the amount of oxygen produced will increase because the sodium bicarbonate concentration will increase the carbon dioxide levels. Independent variable- Concentrations of sodium bicarbonate (8%

breathing rate will increase during exercise. It was hypothesised that if the amount of exercise (independent variable) increases‚ then the individual’s heart rate (bpm) and breathing rate (breaths-pm) (dependant variables) will increase when the environment in which the exercise is completed and a consistent and appropriate method of measurement for the dependant variables are kept constant. It was hypothesised that if physical exercise was increased‚ an individual’s heart and breathing rate would increase

Osmosis investigation Aim: To investigate how sugar concentration affects the mass or size of a potato and find out the sugar solution. Introduction: Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane form a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration until the concentration on both sides is equal. This means that osmosis is like diffusion involving water molecules. Osmosis occurs across a partially permeable membrane‚ with holes

that no milk was added to the coffee within this experiment. If milk was added into the experiment‚ the rate of cooling would be noticeably faster than it is without adding the milk. This would result in larger k values. Also‚ the amount of water that was measured into the beaker may not be accurate due to the fact that human error can come into play. The effect of this would be that the rate of cooling of the coffee may actually be slightly higher or lower depending on whether less or more water

My SRP is determining if the colour of ice affects its melting rate. Ice melts by taking in energy from its surroundings to form heat. This makes the molecules in the ice cube vibrate. As the overall vibration increases‚ the water molecules split from each other turning the ice from a frozen state to a liquid state. Heat can be absorbs in two different ways‚ through direct contact with a hot surface or through radiation of a hot surface nearby. Radiant heat can be contributed by sunlight‚ fires and

see how the wavelength of visible light affects the rate of growth of aquatic plants Different wavelengths of light will effect to rate of photosynthesis. I will test this by exposing the pondweed to different wavelengths of light to see how it reacts. Method I will do this by passing white light through a filter. The filter will remove all unwanted wavelengths of light leaving the plant exposed to only the desired wavelength of light. I will use three different wavelengths of light 750nm
