Title Page Chelsea Maksin Organic Chemistry Laboratory 1 Column and Thin Layer Chromatography: The Separation of Spinach Pigments Russ Hoburg 02/15/2012 Abstract The main goal in doing the column and thin layer chromatography was to separate spinach extract into its components based on polarity and then to analyze the components. The separation of the spinach extract was done using the column chromatography with the wet/slurry packing method. Alumina was inserted into the column to act as

Introduction: Trying to find a good‚ quantitative procedure that students can use for exploring photosynthesis is a challenge. The standard procedures such as counting oxygen bubbles generated by an elodea stem tend to not be “student” proof or reliable. This is a particular problem if your laboratory instruction emphasizes student-generated questions. Over the years‚ I have found the floating leaf disk assay technique to be reliable and understandable to students. Once the students are familiar
Free Carbon dioxide Photosynthesis Oxygen
All organisms on earth depend on photosynthesis‚ in which light energy is used to make sugar and other food molecules from carbon dioxide and water. For example‚ plants and other photo-synthesizers need only energy from sunlight‚ carbon dioxide from air‚ and water from the soil to make the sugar glucose. Photosynthesis is the most important chemical process on earth because it provides food for virtually all organisms‚ not only for photo-synthesizers but for the organisms that eat them. Plants can

PHOTOSYNTHESIS (How do the light dependent and light independent reactions provide food for a plant?) Why? How important are plants to life on Earth? Could life as we know it continue if there were no plants? Read on the find out why plants are truly the cornerstone of life. Model 1: An Overview of Photosynthesis and Chloroplast Structure 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 Site of the Calvin cycle‚ or light independent reactions 6 H 2O + 6 CO2 Contains chlorophyll. This is the site of the light dependent

Photosynthesis in C3 plants and their adaptations to the Mediterranean Climate Abstract. Photosynthesis is the process that plants use to harness the energy of the sun through light and use it to create sugars. Photophosphorylation is the first step of photosynthesis and occurs in the chloroplast. Light is captured by light harvesting complexes. The light excites electrons which excite surronding electrons through resonance induction and excite special pairs of electrons. These electrons help pump

Cellular Respiration vs. Photosynthesis To obtain energy needed for life‚ organisms depend on the processes of cellular respiration and photosynthesis. Though they share the same function of changing energy from one form to another‚ there are many differences between cellular respiration and photosynthesis in regard to the input and output molecules‚ energetics‚ cellular location‚ and ecological importance. The chemical equations of cellular respiration and photosynthesis are opposites. The reactants

Photosynthesis and respiration are both processes that are necessary for the survival of organisms. However‚ in numerous ways these two processes are very diverse as they are responsible for distinct necessities. Therefore they both have similarities and differences. One major difference between the two is that photosynthesis takes place completely in plants while respiration occurs equally in plants and animals. Nevertheless to understand Photosynthesis and respiration‚ we need to understand what

CIGARETTE SMOKE TO PHOTOSYNTHESIS Increased Carbon Dioxide Smoke of all kinds‚ including cigarette smoke‚ increases the amount of carbon dioxide where it is present (since smoke is itself produced via combustion). Plants use carbon dioxide to make sugars (during photosynthesis). Its increased abundance‚ therefore‚ makes it easier for the plant to obtain. Thus‚ smoking near a plant actually makes it easier for that plant to obtain much-needed carbon dioxide. Hampering Photosynthesis At the same
