Aim To work out how light intensity can affect the rate of photosynthesis. Hypothesis I think that the further away the light source is the smaller the rate of photosynthesis is. This is because there is a further distance for the light to each the plant in order for it to photosynthesise. Although the closer the light source is‚ the more photosynthesis‚ the light source could also kill or damage the Elodea (type of pondweed) because it could become too hot and denature its cells. But because

The effect of light quantity on photosynthesis of green land plants Introduction Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy into chemical energy (Hoober 1984). Pigments within chloroplasts‚ primarily chlorophyll‚ absorb the incoming solar energy which excites their electrons (Hoober 1984). These pigments exist in photosystems in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast (Ladiges et al.2010). As the electrons return to ground level‚ they are captured by the electron acceptor in the

can also be called the rate limiting factor as it affects the rate of photosynthesis. Introduction Photosynthesis is an essential process by which plants make their food in order for growth and respiration to happen. Carbon dioxide water and light combine to manufacture food which comes in the form of glucose for use. Light is a very important aspect in plant growth as with light the light dependent reaction in photosynthesis is able to take place. In this process light is used to break down water

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

Photosynthesis simply means the conversion of light energy into chemical energy by living organisms. In photosynthesis‚ the raw materials are water and carbon dioxide. Energy is taken from sunlight and the end products give out glucose and oxygen. It is the most important‚ naturally occurring process

Plants can make their own food through photosynthesis and then break it down for usable energy through the process of cellular respiration. Analyze and explain how your life might be different if you could make your own food through photosynthesis. First of all if we were to be able to make our own food trough photosynthesis‚ we should have chlorophyll‚ which is the important pigment in absorbing sunlight. As an effect we will all be green in color. This may be good as there will be only one race

The carbon cycle is a biogeochemical cycle that displays how carbon circulates throughout the environment. Many components affect this process such as photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Photosynthesis uses the carbon dioxide that is in the atmosphere to transform it into sugar and oxygen; cellular respiration puts carbon dioxide in the air. Both of these processes were studied during the experiment. In the experiment‚ the tube with both the elodea and the snail had the same level of carbon
