Determination of rate of photosynthesis INTRODUCTION Photosynthesis is the major process by which light from the sun is captured by plants‚ algae and some bacteria to produce energy. It is a process in which light energy is converted into chemical energy which is then stored in sugars. Photosynthesis occurs in two stages‚ light-dependant reactions and light-independent reactions. In light-dependent reactions the chlorophyll traps light energy which is then used to excite electrons and split water

Light Lab Report Introduction: Without light‚ plants would not be able to carry out photosynthesis (McKenney‚ Peffley‚ and Wilmington 49). Photosynthesis is responsible for providing the plant with nutrients it needs to thrive and grow. Without the proper nutrients‚ it is difficult for a plant to continue to live. Therefore‚ photosynthesis is necessary for a plant’s vitality. The goal of this experiment is to observe and identify the impact that light has on a plant. Hypothesis: If light

from the aerial parts of plants‚ especially leaves but also stems‚ flowers and roots. Leaf surfaces are dotted with openings called stomates that are bordered by guard cells. Collectively‚ the structures are called stomata.[1] Leaf transpiration occurs through stomata‚ and can be as a necessary "cost" associated with many processes such as the opening of the pistil and allowing the diffusion of carbon dioxide gas from the air for photosynthesis. Transpiration also cools plants and enables mass flow

Thursday‚ October 4th‚ 2012 Tuesday‚ October 9th‚ 2012 Comparing Plant and Animal Cells Abstract The purpose of our lab was to have a better understanding of what are the differences between animal cells and plant cells. Although the cell is the basic unit in both living beings they are not completely alike. For that I have examined and compared human cheek cells to Elodea leaf cells. First‚ I’ve scraped the inside of my cheek with the end of a swab stick to collect the cells then I’ve prepared

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 dioxide in both the light and dark tube. This occurred because the snail performed cellular respiration‚ and the elodea performed both photosynthesis

Plant cells are eukaryotic cells that differ in several key aspects from the cells of other eukaryotic organisms. Their distinctive features include: A large central vacuole‚ a water-filled volume enclosed by a membrane known as the tonoplast maintains the cell’s turgor‚ controls movement of molecules between the cytosol and sap‚ stores useful material and digests waste proteins and organelles. A cell wall composed of cellulose and hemicellulose‚ pectin and in many cases lignin‚ is secreted by

Fertilizers are essential in plant growth due to the lack of some nutrients in the soil. They contain three distinct categories which are the primary nutrients‚ secondary nutrients and metals. (hazri). In order for a plant to develop growth‚ the basic needs of carbon (C)‚ hydrogen (H)‚ and oxygen (O) are required which are available in the air and water. Also‚ a boost of macronutrients are also essential for plant growth which are obtainable from chemical fertilizers mainly nitrogen (N)‚ phosphate

Photosynthesis is the process by which light energy is used to convert inorganic compounds into organic substances with the subsequent release. There are many factors which can have an effect on the process of photosynthesis; in this laboratory experiment‚ the focus lies on carbon dioxide (CO2) availably and its effect on photosynthesis. By understanding the component that affect the rate of photosynthesis‚ one can do work to try and increase the rate of photosynthesis. The purpose of this laboratory

SICK PLANTS Hypothesis: From my research‚ I think the plant in the solution containing all nutrients will have the fastest / most successful growth‚ and the control group / water solution will have the least growth as it doesn’t have any of its necessary nutrients. Variables: The independent variable will be the solution the plants are put in to begin with. All other conditions will be kept the same‚ such as temperature‚ sunlight‚ length of shoot‚ time space left. I will have a control group
