    All green parts of a plant have chloroplasts. However‚ the leaves are the major site of photosynthesis for most plants. There are about half a million chloroplasts per square millimeter of leaf surface. The color of a leaf comes from chlorophyll‚ the green pigment in the chloroplasts. Chlorophyll plays an important role in the absorption of light energy during photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are found mainly in mesophyll cells forming the tissues in the interior of the leaf. O2 exits and CO2 enters

    Photosynthesis is the process by which light energy is used to convert inorganic compounds into organic substances with the subsequent release. There are many factors which can have an effect on the process of photosynthesis; in this laboratory experiment‚ the focus lies on carbon dioxide (CO2) availably and its effect on photosynthesis. By understanding the component that affect the rate of photosynthesis‚ one can do work to try and increase the rate of photosynthesis. The purpose of this laboratory

    Photosynthesis Green plants absorb light energy using chlorophyll in their leaves. They use it to react carbon dioxide with water to make a sugar called glucose. The glucose is used in respiration‚ or converted into starch and stored. Oxygen is produced as a by-product. This process is called photosynthesis. Temperature‚ carbon dioxide concentration and light intensity are factors that can limit the rate of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis summary Photosynthesis [photosynthesis: The chemical change

    take place in the thylakoid membrane‚ the reactions of the Calvin cycle take place in the stroma. In the Calvin cycle‚ getting pulled into the cells using RUBISCO to facilitate the process incorporated gaseous CO2 molecules. RUBISCO acts much like a sponge with a great absorptive power to suck up the CO2 from the air surrounding a plant. Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy‚ normally from the Sun‚ into chemical energy that can be later released to

    Biology Coursework ¡V Does The Light Intensity Affect the Rate of Photosynthesis The Investigation In this experiment I will investigate the affect in which the light intensity will have on a plants photosynthesis process. This will be done by measuring the bubbles of oxygen and having a bulb for the light intensity variable. Variables The input variable which will be used in this investigation will be the light intensity (this will be a 100Watt bulb being moved closer and further away from

    to should the rate of photosynthesis.Therefore‚ all the controlled variables must remain constant‚ if not there could be an affect on the accuracy of the dependent variable. The CO2 levels are the same for each trial because before placing the sodium hydrogen carbonate i will weigh it with a measuring scale for 1.5 grams. After completing the five measurements for the first trial‚ I will change the water and add a new amount of sodium hydrogen carbonate to the water‚ however using the same pondweed

    How does the Amount of CO2 Affect the Rate of Photosynthesis? There are a number of variables that can affect the photosynthesis rate of Canadian water weed (Elodea). They are as follows:  The amount of light: an increased light level increases the rate of photosynthesis to a certain point where at another factor limits the photosynthesis rate.  The temperature: Increased temperature increases the rate of photosynthesis to a certain temperature‚ after which‚ essential enzymes
