respiration and photosynthesis are almost exact opposites. Photosynthesis is anabolic; it builds up glucose‚ or sugar‚ from light energy‚ water and carbon dioxide. The chemical equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 6H2O + Light Energy C6H12O6 + 6O2. Cellular respiration‚ on the other hand‚ is catabolic. It breaks down glucose to form carbon dioxide and water. The chemical equation for cellular respiration is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + 38 ATP. Cellular respiration and photosynthesis follow the

The purpose of this experiment was to discover if using sugar and tonic water with water would increase the growth rate of barley. In this experiment‚ we changed two variables‚ the independent variables sugar and tonic water. We added one tablespoon of each substance to four ounces of water which will be used to nourish the plant. We tested these experimental controls to determine if any of the substances would help accelerate the growth of the barley. If the sugar water or tonic water mixture successfully

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 members in our group were Whitney‚ myself‚ and Charlotte. The title of this lab was “reaction types.” The purpose of this lab was to identify the reaction type‚ balance equations‚ and observe the reactions .Our hypothesis was if there was many stations with fire‚ then they’re would be many combustion reactions. The procedure of the first lab was to place a solid piece of magnesium metal in the bottom of the smallest tube. Place this test tube in the test tube holder. Using tongs pick up the

Practical 1: Observation of mitosis in garlic root tips Introduction The practical will involve the preparation‚ observation‚ and classification‚ of the various stages of mitosis by observing garlic root tips using a microscope. The study comes under the heading of cytogenetics which is the visual characterisation of genetic material and the study of how that material reacts during the life of the cell. Strictly speaking‚ mitosis is the division of the nucleus into two daughter nuclei that are

light on the rate of photosynthesis Introduction This experiment was performed to investigate the effects of different wavelengths of light on the rate of photosynthesis. If a multiple colored film petri dishes are place under a 50 watt lamp‚ then the rate of photosynthesis will be greater for those with red‚ blue and clear film‚ than those with green and black film. We believed the petri dishes with the red‚ blue and clear film would produce the best results of photosynthesis as compared to the

Introduction Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplast and is the use of sunlight energy for cell processes. It happens through a number of chemical reactions and the transfer of electrons. It is used as the source of energy (ATP) for plants. The reaction equation for photosynthesis is H2O + CO2 + (Light) (CH2O)N + CO2 In the Hill reaction‚ Robert Hill showed how chloroplasts in water can still function if there is light and an electron acceptor to release oxygen. He proved that the oxygen

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

3.2 DNA Extraction The DNA will be extracted from the Nemipterus samples according to Wizard® Genomic DNA Purification Kit (Promega) protocols. The first step of is cells and nuclei will be lysed by adding 120 µl of 0.5 Molar ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) to 500 µL of Nuclei Lysis Solution in a eppendorf tube‚ then it will be chilled on ice until the solution turn cloudy. The second step is 0.5 cm of Nemipterus sample tissue will be minced to fine powder. The fine powder of fresh Nemipterus

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
