Then‚ measured 25cm with the meter ruler to make a point and placed some blue-tac on it 3. Also repeated the points for distance of 50cm‚ 75cm and 100cm 4. Then the ball was placed at the starting point 5. After that‚ the ball was released while

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

AP Lab #5 Plant Pigments/Photosynthesis I. Identifying the Effects of Different Variables of Light and Carbon Dioxide on the Rate of Photosynthesis and Observing the Separation of Pigments Through Chromatography II. Introduction Plants have a variety of pigments‚ all of which absorb a different color of light. The three main pigments are chlorophyll a‚ chlorophyll b and carotenoids. Chlorophyll a is the primary plant pigment that absorbs red and blue light‚ which ultimately appears green to the human eye

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

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 this lab specifically (Lab No. 7)‚ we isolated specific color

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

Question/Purpose: The Question or Purpose of our lab is to answer the question “How is the 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

Investigation 5: Photosynthesis Problem: If the leaf disks are treated in a way you know increases the net rate of photosynthesis‚ should they start to float faster or slower? Why? Hypothesis: If the leaf disks were bathed in a red light source‚ then the rate of photosynthesis would increase than leaf disks that are bathed in a regular light source because chlorophyll absorbs red pigment and reflects green pigments. Therefore‚ shining a red light source onto the leaf disks would cause them

Name Biology-Honors Teacher December 6‚ 2012 Photosynthesis Lab 1. Introduction: Light dependent reactions are the first phase of photosynthesis. It requires light to happen and happens in the thylakoid membrane in a chloroplast. The light energy is absorbed from the sun and converted into chemical energy. Which is then stored temporarily in ATP and NADPH. Hypothesis: I predict that the wavelength intensity will affect the rate of photosynthesis more than light intensity will. 2. Data:

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
