Chapter 7 and 8 discuss and give in depth details on photosynthesis and cellular respiration. They are the exact opposites in what they set out to complete in the cells of a leaf. Photosynthesis takes light energy and separates it in the chloroplasts to create glucose. Cellular respiration breaks down glucose to provide energy for the cell. The similarities between them include overlap in some of the enzymes and products and reactants utilized. The differences include the cycles and steps taken to

Plan I plan to investigate how light intensity affects the rate of photosynthesis in pondweed. The rate of photosynthesis will be measured by the number of bubbles given off (considering that oxygen is produced as a waste gas during photosynthesis). The light intensity is measured by the distance between the lamp and pondweed. Fair test: Fix: the amount of pondweed‚ the amount of water and sodium hydrogen carbonate solution in the test tube‚ the time allowed for each experiment Change: the

Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are fascinating‚ complicated‚ and important processes that are essential to life. Cellular respiration exists in animal and plants‚ whereas photosynthesis only exists in plants due to the chloroplast organelle. Cellular respiration starts with glucose‚ and oxygen and the photosynthesis process on the other hand starts off with the absorption of photons of light from the sun.While the end products of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide‚ water‚ and ATP‚ the

Explain in detail why palisade cells in plants contain many chloroplasts Palisade cells are cells which are found within the leaves of many plants. They contain chloroplasts‚ which convert the energy in light to chemical energy through photosynthesis. The cylindrical shape of palisade cells allows a large amount of light to be absorbed by the chloroplasts. Beneath the palisade mesophyll are the spongy mesophyll cells‚ irregularly-shaped cells that having many intercellular spaces to allow the

Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis are two processes that occur in a cell. Cellular respiration coverts glucose and oxygen into ATP and its byproducts‚ carbon dioxide and water‚ are what cause photosynthesis to occur which is then converted into glucose and ATP and then release oxygen. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast while cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria. The glucose for cellular respiration is first split in the cytoplasm during the process glycolysis then the Kreb’s

rate of photosynthesis. Prediction I predict that as the light intensity increases that the rate of photosynthesis will increase in proportion‚ so for example if you increase the light intensity from 10cm away to 20 cm away form a stationary plant. There for the rate of photosynthesis will decrease proportionally with the distance of the light from the plant (in this case a half). This means that as the light moves away then there is less light given to the reaction for photosynthesis to happen

Theoretically‚ the spinach extract at 18oC should have a faster rate of reaction than the 5oC extract because higher temperature allows substrates to move more rapidly hence increases the chance of collision with the enzymes. Moreover‚ the experiment was low in accuracy as

AP Biology Lab Four: Plant Pigments and Photosynthesis Abstract: The purpose of this lab is to separate and identify pigments and other molecules within plant cells by a process called chromatography. We will also be measuring the rate of photosynthesis in isolated chloroplasts. Beta carotene‚ the most abundant carotene in plants‚ is carried along near the solvent front because it is very soluble in the solvent being used and because it forms no hydrogen bonds with cellulose. Xanthophyll is found

and the rate of photosynthesis and instead it starts relatively high then decreases and increases again. The colour red gives the highest rate of photosynthesis (89 bubbles per minute) with blue giving the second highest rate of photosynthesis (70 bubbles per minute)‚ and yellow giving the third highest rate of photosynthesis (64 bubbles per minute) and green with by far the least (44 bubbles per minute). Although‚ we can see no direct correlation between the rate of photosynthesis and the wavelength
