Photosynthesis is a process done in the chloroplasts of plant cells that is beneficial to all of life. Plants are able to convert light to energy which is beneficial to the plants‚ while also giving off oxygen as a byproduct for humans. Chloroplasts are in the thylakoid discs of a plant cell‚ that contain chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b‚ which are it’s light-capturing pigments. Colors in the wavelengths are either absorbed or reflected by the chlorophyll in which case green is reflected and colors

Lab Report: Photosynthesis Name: Purpose of this Lab What is the goal of this lab? What question are you trying to answer‚ or what problem are you trying to explain? In this lab I will perform experiments to explain photosynthesis. I will answer questions like what does photosynthesis do and how does photosynthesis work? Hypothesis After reading the lab instructions (but before starting the lab) record your best educated guess about what will happen in the experiment. Explain

germination of a seed affected by sunlight?” Experimental Hypothesis: We believe these results will occur. 1. The seeds that are water deprived (1 mL of H2O a day) will not grow very well due to a lack of water which is important in photosynthesis and also lacks nutrients. The seeds may also die off due to a lack of water. 2. The seeds that are have a proper amount of water (10 mL of H2O a day) will grow the best and achieve the greatest height‚ and overall best appearance.

Introduction Photosynthesis is a redox reaction which requires carbon dioxide‚ water and light to produce water and a 6-carbon sugar. The process of photosynthesis consists of two parts‚ a light reaction and a light-independent reaction. The method of changing light energy into chemical energy for the formation of NADPH and ATP is done through the light reactions. Light independent reactions use carbon dioxide and the products of light reactions (ATP and NADPH) to form compounds such as glucose

Factors Limiting Photosynthesis The rate of photosynthesis increases with increasing light intensity. But too much light intensity can slow down the rate of photosynthesis because the light damages chloroplasts in the leaf. The higher the temperature the greater the rate of photosynthesis as photosynthesis is a chemical reaction and chemical reactions increase with temperature. But at temperatures above 40 C the rate slows down because the enzymes involved are destroyed

Problem: Dows light intensity and wavelength affect Photosynthesis? Introduction: Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct. It produces sugar and other organic compounds such as lipids and proteins. The sugars are then used to provide energy for the organism. Light reaction is the series

Examination of How Different Colours of Light Affect The Rate of Photosynthesis INTRODUCTION Plants are an essential part of the food chain required by all living things to survive. The growing world population and subsequent alteration to the natural environment has placed increased pressure on available plant resources. This is particularly evident in the area of agriculture‚ where optimum crop productivity is important to meet the increased demand for food by the growing world population

6CO 2 + 12H 2 O + light → C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 + 6H 2 O Introduction: In this simulation‚ you will be looking at the production of carbon dioxide as a plant photosynthesizes. Oxygen is measured in the number of bubbles produced by the plant. Three factors that influence the rate of photosynthesis can be adjusted in the simulator to determine how each of the factors affects the rate of photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis Maria Diaz March 12‚2012 Pre-Lab Questions 1. Which two variables are controlled in a similar manner? The two variables that can be controlled in a similar manner are CO2 & the light level. 2. How can you get the results to the investigation faster? You can get the results to the investigation faster by adjusting the speed at the bottom of the water weed simulation. 3. How will you be able to determine the rate of photosynthesis in this simulation
