This experiment focuses on the effect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis. In simple terms this refers to how the production rate of the products of photosynthesis (oxygen and glucose) will be affected by a light source at different distances. The hypothesis states that “If there is a higher light intensity‚ then more oxygen and glucose molecules will be produced‚ and the rate of photosynthesis will increase.” This hypothesis was accepted. This was determined by counting the number of

3. Explain how the products of photosynthesis are transported‚ partitioned and allocated during plant growth and reproduction. Photosynthesis has been the focus of much attention than any other physiological process in flora physiology. Photosynthesis is a complex plant metabolic process‚ similar to respiration and fermentation‚ in which a plant can synthesize organic matter using light and chlorophyll. According to Kirk 1994: Photosynthesis is a complex physic-chemical process that is the central

Investigating the Effect of Light Wavelength on the Rate of Photosynthesis Method Take a 250cm3 beaker and fill it with distilled water. Use distilled water so there are no impurities to disrupt photosynthesis. Then take x cm’s of elodia and put it in the beaker. Cover the elodia with the large end of a funnel and the tip of the funnel cover with a test tube. Then direct a light onto this experiment. Measure the amount of bubbles that come from the elodia for x minutes. A prediction

Introduction Photosynthesis is the process by which autotrophic organisms convert light energy to chemical energy in the form of glucose. Without this process life on earth would be very different because every organism directly or indirectly depends on photosynthesis. Photosynthesis helps the plants to grow roots‚ leaves‚ flowers and fruits. It is an extremely important process because plant tissue serves as the bottom of every food chain. The process of photosynthesis is dictated by a number

Introduction: Copper has played a vital role in past civilizations and continues to do so today due to its many properties as a metal. Although advantageous in today’s economy and also in human bodies‚ high concentrations of copper can prove toxic to our health and even pollutant to the environment. By altering the element through a number of chemical reactions including redox‚ metathesis‚ decomposition‚ and single replacement reactions‚ the cycle will be complete once solid copper is recovered.

Examination of How Different Colours of Light Affect The Rate of Photosynthesis INTRODUCTION Plants are an essential part of the food chain required by all living things to survive. The growing world population and subsequent alteration to the natural environment has placed increased pressure on available plant resources. This is particularly evident in the area of agriculture‚ where optimum crop productivity is important to meet the increased demand for food by the growing world population

Respiration is the process by which energy is released energy from glucose in the presence of Oxygen‚ forming carbon dioxide and water as waste products. Glucose releases energy in a series of reactions that take place inside components of the cell. The stages are briefly explained below as were briefly explained in part A‚ the process then goes through‚ glycolosis‚ link reaction and then the Krebs cycle. The volume of CO2 that is produced in the Krebs cycle is important as this is the dependant

Title: The success of photosynthesis in geranium leaves using visible light wavelengths obstructed by black paper‚ and red‚ blue‚ and green translucent filters. I. Abstract Photosynthesis is a process in which plants use light‚ water‚ and carbon dioxide to produce sugars‚ water and oxygen. Chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b‚ in the chloroplasts of a leaf‚ are responsible for absorbing wavelengths of light for use in photosynthesis with red and blue wavelengths being optimal. Testing

Introduction: Photosynthesis is the trapping of carbon dioxide and its subsequent reduction to carbohydrate‚ using hydrogen from water. Hexose sugars and starch are commonly formed so the following equation is often used: light energy 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 carbon dioxide water chlorophyll carbohydrate oxygen Photosynthesis consists of two stages: These are the light-dependent reactions‚ for which light energy is necessary‚ and the light independent reactions series of light-dependent reactions
