#2 Elodea and Photosynthesis by __________________ Name:_____________________ Class:_____________________ Teacher:_____________________ Date:_____________________ Elodea and Photosynthesis Introduction: Photosynthetic organisms (cyanobacteria) first evolved about 3.5 billion years ago and are the oldest know fossils on Earth. Cyanobacteria live in water‚ can manufacture their own food‚ and are one of the most important groups of bacteria on Earth. The Cyanobacteria have been important

Misael Acosta Photosynthesis Lab Report Ms. Rocha AP Biology 4th Period II. Intro/Background 1. In order for oxygen to be present photosynthesis must occur. Photosynthesis takes in light and CO2‚ and through a series of steps produces oxygen. Photosynthesis can be measured by either the disappearance of substrate or the accumulation of product. Examples include the production of O2 or the consumption of CO2. All the oxygen within the leaf disks will be removed before being placed

Virtual Lab: Optimizing 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

Lab Report #1 Photosynthesis Lab Report: The Effects of Varying Concentrations of CO2 on the rate of Photosynthesis in Spinach Leaves 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. The purpose of this experiment is to see how different concentrations of carbon

The purpose of this lab was to investigate whether veins affect photosynthesis rate. It was predicted that having veins would decrease the rate because chloroplast might be less frequent due to the vascular tissue. For this experiment‚ 4 groups were set up: veins and no veins in CO2 solution‚ and veins and no veins in distilled water‚ the distilled water groups served as controls. These 4 groups were placed under a light bulb in order for photosynthesis to occur. No disks experience movement in the

ADI Lab investigation: Photosynthesis Introduction and goals: In our experiment we worked with photosynthesis‚ which is the process of light energy‚ CO2 and H2O being turned into food for the plant. CO2+H2O+ Light energy=C6H12O+O2 is the formula for photosynthesis. Our group hypothesis was trying to determine weather o2‚ water‚ or the nutrients of the soil determine the mass of the water. The guided question was “Where does the mass that makes up a plant come from?” Methods:

Through this experiment‚ Egeria densa was observed using a microscope. The task was to observe and identify the different types of cell‚ cytoplasmic streaming‚ and plasmolysis of Egeria densa. First‚ the microscope was examined and investigated to master the use of the equipment. A microscope slide grid which was on the slide glass was required to be seen clearly using 4x‚ 10x and 30x. During the latter part of the experiment‚ the Egeria densa was observed using the microscope to understand the

AP Biology Photosynthesis Lab Bethany Boyer Due 11/12/14 Lab Write-Up Questions First Experiment 1) The independent variable in this experiment was the presence of CO2 (carbon dioxide). The dependent variable was the speed at which the leaf disks started to float. 2) In the leaf tissue‚ the bicarbonate and light are combining to carry out photosynthesis. This will cause oxygen to collect in the leaf tissue‚ causing it to rise. 3) If we were to boil the leaf disks‚ the reaction would most likely
