An Experiment to Test the Effect of Temperature on the Rate of Photosynthesis in Green Algae Background Photosynthesis is an amazing process where plants are able to create their own food as well as oxygen using sunlight‚ carbon dioxide (co2)‚ and water. The part of the plant responsible for photosynthesis is the enzymes in the chlorophyll (structures that carry out photosynthesis located in leaves). Photosynthesis is the process of creating glucose. Water + Carbon Dioxide + Sunlight = Glucose

Investigating the Effect of Light Wavelength on the Rate of Photosynthesis Method Take a 250cm3 beaker and fill it with distilled water. Use distilled water so there are no impurities to disrupt photosynthesis. Then take x cm’s of elodia and put it in the beaker. Cover the elodia with the large end of a funnel and the tip of the funnel cover with a test tube. Then direct a light onto this experiment. Measure the amount of bubbles that come from the elodia for x minutes. A prediction

first ensure that the ecosystem’s foundation is remaining strong‚ a foundation known as photosynthesis. When photosynthesis is functioning as it should‚ in its fullest capacity‚ all organisms benefit from it in some way. Furthermore‚ scientists aim to better understand the photosynthetic process to help enhance the efficiency and quality of life on Earth. By fully understanding the function of photosynthesis‚ some environmental adjustments can then be made to refine the photosynthetic process. In

Research Question: What are the percent concentrations of Fe3+ ions by mass in fresh parsley and spinach leaves? Scientific Concept Colorimeter measures the absorbance of light by the chemical substances at a certain wavelength. By measuring the absorbance‚ the concentration of a chemical substance can be determined. For the calibration of the colorimeter‚ different concentrations of a standard solution and a control (distilled water) are prepared in cuvettes. These cuvettes are put into the colorimeter

necessary for life. Cells obtain this energy through the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration. In photosynthesis‚ organisms harness light energy obtained from the sun to produce organic compounds. On the other hand‚ cellular respiration breaks down the organic compounds produced from photosynthesis to harvest the energy needed to carry out the energy-consuming activities of the cell. As complementary processes‚ photosynthesis and cellular respiration provide each other with the raw materials

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. Before we conducted

use a process called photosynthesis to covert energy from the sun into energy they can use for their activities. The plant’s chloroplasts‚ along with water‚ carbon dioxide‚ and light are the essential elements required for photosynthesis to take place. The “photo” part of photosynthesis is in reference to the fact that the process requires light. The simplest form of the photosynthesis equation is: H2O + CO2 ----light----> (CH2O)N + O2 As shown in the equation‚ photosynthesis produces carbohydrates

Introduction Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplast and is the use of sunlight energy for cell processes. It happens through a number of chemical reactions and the transfer of electrons. It is used as the source of energy (ATP) for plants. The reaction equation for photosynthesis is H2O + CO2 + (Light) (CH2O)N + CO2 In the Hill reaction‚ Robert Hill showed how chloroplasts in water can still function if there is light and an electron acceptor to release oxygen. He proved that the oxygen

PHOTOSYNTHESIS LAB Alyssa Wright VARIABLE: LIGHT INTENSITY AIM: to investigate the effect of light intensity (lux) on the amount of oxygen produced (number of bubbles) HYPOTHESIS: I predict that the rate of oxygen produced increases‚ as the light intensity increases‚ but only to a point. I predict this will happen because the plant will have enough carbon dioxide and water to keep up with the amount of light that there is. When there is less light intensity‚ photosynthesis will happen
