May 2012 The Effect of Light on Snapdragon Flowers Introduction: It is a well-known fact that plants need light for nourishment‚ yet many people are ignorant of the reasons behind this. The biological process by which green plants utilize carbon dioxide‚ water and sunlight to form their own food is called photosynthesis (unknown). Past research has demonstrated that red and blue rays maximize this process (Rothenburger‚ 1993). The purpose of this experiment was to examine the effect of several different

Introduction: Photosynthesis can be defined as light energy being converted into chemical energy‚ which is a very important process for plants and other organisms. Light can be described in terms of light quantity and light quality. Both of these have an affect on photosynthesis. The more light a plant absorbs the more the plant is able to photosynthesize. This light is absorbed though pigments which have specific interactions with certain light waves (colors). The goal of my first experiment

Investigation of the Stroop effect Anonymous The current study focused on the Stroop effect‚ which is the observation that it takes longer to name the colour of the ink in which a word is printed if the word spells a different colour than it does to identify a block of colour‚ It involves the use of automatic and controlled processes. The Stroop effect was tested on participants who were part of a repeated measures groups design‚ there were two males and two females aged

In this experiment‚ the class examined how the rate of photosynthesis was affected by different light colors at different distances in shoots of a Cabomba plant. The plants were placed in two different beakers‚ one with recently boiled and cooled distilled water and the other with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. The three different color photoflood lamps used for this experiment were white‚ red‚ and green at four distances of thirty‚ sixty‚ ninety‚ and one hundred-twenty centimeters away

starch molecules. The process by which this happens is called photosynthesis and results in the formation of oxygen and glucose. Plants take in carbon dioxide‚ water‚ and light then release oxygen back into the air. This process happens because of the movement of hydrogen to the hydrocarbons that are produced during photosynthesis. The discovery of photosynthesis is attributed to Dutch scientist Jan Ingenhousz who was the first to find that light is necessary to the process‚ it happens in the green parts

Abstract For this lab the rate of photosynthesis was analyzed upon plant leaves. A sample of a light exposed and a not-light exposed leave were used to clearly identify the role of sunlight in the process of producing and storing energy. Aim We are trying to find proof‚ to demonstrate the necessity of light and chlorophyll in the process of photosynthesis. Background Photosynthesis occurs in organisms which contain chlorophyll. It’s a process that involves the chloroplasts to synthesize glucose

The Effect of Different Light Colours on Plant Growth Dianne R. Calub Marshela Alpha B. Gesmundo BS-Environmental Science Prof. Jayson Antonio Chemistry Department January 04‚ 2012 Abstract The goal of this study is to learn how the colour of light affects photosynthesis‚ to identify the effects of different coloured lights on plant growth‚ and to identify the potential use of different light colours as a growth regulator. An experiment was performed with the help of 7 students. Mustard

The energy of sunlight is stored in the chemical bonds of carbohydrates. 14. Complete the table comparing two types of organisms. Autotrophs and Heterotrophs Type Description Examples Autotrophs An organism that is able to create its own food through photosynthesis (simple organic substances) Plants Heterotrophs An organism that “feeds”

Photosynthesis is a process through which plants and some certain types of bacteria get energy from the sun’s UV-rays and use it to create and store sugar that is transformed into ATP by cellular respiration later on in the process. In plants‚ this process takes place in chloroplasts‚ which concentrate in the mesophyll cells‚ with the help of chlorophyll‚ the green pigment‚ which is directly involved in photosynthesis. It is important to understand that we see leaves green simply because the green
