In photosynthesis‚ light energy is transformed into chemical energy‚ thus chemical energy is the product. This is different from respiration because respiration transforms chemical energy into energy usable by cells; in this case chemical energy is the source. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts‚ using the chlorophyll inside of the chloroplasts‚ while respiration occurs in the mitochondria. Photosynthesis produces oxygen as a by-product‚ while aerobic respiration requires oxygen to even work

have light‚ air and water in order to grow. Light is a major component because plants need it in order to survive in their habitats because they use it to make food through photosynthesis. Light is also used to reflect off a natural green color‚ which is absorbed by the green pigment‚ chlorophyll. Aim What effects does sunlight and no light have on growing plants? The goal of this lab is to determine the effects of different approaches of growing seedlings and to understand these effects. Hypothesis

The effect of different wavelengths of light on photosynthesis rate in spinach leaves Abstract: This experiment was performed to test the effect of different wavelengths of light had on photosynthesis. According to the results gathered we can say that if two plants are put under different lights‚ one green and one a normal light‚ that the plant under the normal light will perform photosynthesis at a higher rate than the plant under the green light. This experiment is important because it shows

Put simply‚ photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy into chemical energy and storing it in the bonds of sugar. Photosynthesis comes from the Greek language and literally means “Light Composition” or “Putting Together Light.” Photosynthesis generally takes place in plants‚ however it also takes place in algae and many species of bacteria. In photosynthesis‚ light energy is converted to chemical energy and the chemical energy is then stored in the form of glucose‚ or sugar. Carbon

possible by my AP Biology teacher’s assignment. If not for her‚ I would never have sat down and composed a four page script about Photosynthesis. I would also like to thank my supporting family for listening to my complaints and frustrations throughout this process. My gratitude goes out to the AP Bio Facebook group as well‚ for answering all the questions I had about Photosynthesis. Thank you all very much.

“Respiration” and “Photosynthesis” All life depends on two chemical reactions “Respiration” and “Photosynthesis”. These two processes are quite crucial because they are a source to nearly all life on Earth. Both of these processes are quite similar yet differentiate vastly. In this essay I’ll be comparing and contrasting “Photosynthesis” and “Respiration”. I’ll start by discussing what actually happens

An investigation into the effects of temperature on enzyme action An enzyme is a biological catalyst that speeds up the rate of reaction in certain biological functions. They play a vital role in many aspects of human physiology and are necessary for the functioning of a number of systems‚ for example in the digestive system to help to break down food. All enzymes have a unique active site that can fit on to a particular molecular arrangement on a target substrate; a substance e.g. carbohydrate

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

The effect of wavelength of light on the rate of photosynthesis was investigated in this experiment. The results from Figure 13 suggest that white light‚ containing all wavelengths of coloured light‚ has the highest rate of photosynthesis. Purple light had the second highest efficiency‚ followed by blue‚ red‚ and yellow light. Green light was significantly less efficient‚ producing the second lowest pH reading (Figure 14). The samples exposed to no light had the lowest rate of photosynthesis. The
