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

The lamp experiment is primarily based off of the process of photosynthesis. The experiment tracks the rate of photosynthesis as it is affected by the color of the light source. Changing the light bulb color changes the length of the wavelengths that hit the chloroplasts in the plant leaves and effects how fast or if photosynthesis occurs. The equation for photosynthesis is 6 CO2 + 6H2O + light energy=C6H12O6 + 6O2 meaning that when a plant cell absorbs carbon dioxide and water alongside sunlight

Photosynthesis: Plant cells vs. Solar Cells Chevon Allen 01/23/2010 SCI-115 Professor Garcia Photosynthesis and the semiconductor-based solar cell are very similar process with different ways of reaching the same goal. In photosynthesis‚ plant cells harness the solar energy of the sun with carbon dioxide to transform water molecules into hydrogen‚ oxygen‚ and electrons. Just like photosynthesis‚ Semi conductor based solar cells harness the solar energy of the sun for the same purposes

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

Experiment 1 Cyanobacteria Oxygen Production Through Photosynthesis Date Performed: September 2‚ 2014 I. Introduction a. Background Cyanobacteria or blue green algae are renowned for their tolerability and susceptibility even in wide range of environmental conditions‚ a characteristic of many primitive organisms. CNB are believed to be the agents of autotrophic origin of life thus they probably represent the survivors of the earliest photosynthetic plants‚ along with photosynthetic and chemosynthetic

Introduction: Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use the light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into simple sugar called glucose‚ which provides a basic energy source for the plant. Photosynthesis occurs in leaves that contain specialized cell structures called chloroplasts. Chloroplasts contain molecules of a green pigment called chlorophyll‚ consisting largely of carbon and hydrogen. It gives green color and absorbs the necessary light for photosynthesis. Chloroplasts

Cells of all organisms are capable in acquiring the energy necessary to fuel chemical reactions for growth‚ repair‚ survival‚ and reproduction. Photosynthesis & cellular respiration are the main pathways of energy flow in living things. Photosynthesis is a process by which plants and some other organisms convert‚ light energy from the sun‚ CO2 from the air & H2O from the earth‚ into chemical energy stored in molecules like glucose. Cellular respiration is a process in which O2 is delivered to cells

The data found in this experiment supported the initial statement in the hypothesis‚ that blue would have the highest rate of photosynthesis (see Figure 7). The second part of the prediction was refuted by the data‚ as green had a higher rate than both yellow and red. This result seems to go against the experiment‚ however the answer is in Figure 5. When adding green food coloring to the solution (see Methods) dilution also took place. When comparing the wavelength of 540 nm (see Tables 1 & 2) with

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 fuel the organisms’ activities. When light hits an object‚ it is absorbed or reflected. When it
