Cellular Energetics: The Rate of Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis over Time Among Various Variables By: Ethan Barnett Introduction Cellular Energetics is the broad term that encompasses both cellular respiration and photosynthesis and refers to how energy changes and reacts within cells. Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down sugars (ATP) in order to produce energy for other chemical reactions. Cellular respiration takes place mainly in the mitochondria and the reactants

FIXING PEA PLANTS (Pisum sativum) ON GROWTH OF CORN (Zea mays) Introduction Interactions among plant species‚ particularly negative ones‚ have been a concern in agriculture (Levene 1926‚ Russell 1961). Novoa (1981) suggested that it would be advantageous to rotate certain crops by season‚ grow certain crops together‚ or avoid growing certain crops on the same land. Observations indicated that some crops require specific types of nutrients in contrast to other crop species‚ and plants within

Water Transport in Plants Introduction In this lab experiment‚ we set out to examine the different transpiration rates of a plant system in certain environments. Water is transported in a plant by the process of transpiration‚ which is the loss of water through evaporation from the surface of leaves. The stomata in leaves are responsible for the diffusion of water vapor. Transpiration brings water upward through the xylem in the plant. There are certain factors that can affect transpiration

high value material which‚ when blended with soil‚ can restore soil tilth by correcting the imbalances caused by the over-utilization of petrol-chemical based fertilizers; thus enabling crops and plants to naturally combat pests and diseases‚ all resulting in increased crop production and general plant health. Using European technology we began researching production processes and the potential of Vermicomposting over 20 years ago. In 1991 we built the first American flow through Vermicomposting

VALENCY Valency can be defined as the combining capacity of an element.The electrons present in the outermostmost shell of an atom are known as valence electrons and they determine the valency.The valence electrons take part in chemical reaction and they determine the chemical properties of the elements.Let us take an example‚ Theatomic number of carbon is 6 Its configuration is =2‚4 It means valency of carbon is 4. In chemistry‚ valence‚ also known as valency or valence number‚ is the number

Diversity Index Lab Introduction: The measure of the biodiversity of organisms in a given area is known as the diversity index. The diversity index values will vary between 0‚ which would indicate no diversity‚ and 1‚ which is very diverse. Any values above 0.5 usually indicate a relatively diverse population. For example‚ a healthy forest or woodland should have a diversity index of 0.7. An area that is not very diverse‚ like a cornfield‚ might have a diversity index of 0.02 or less. In this

: The purpose of the experiment was to determine the wavelength and light intensity effect on the reaction rate of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the conversion of light energy to chemical energy in the form of organic compounds. There are two phases in photosynthesis‚ the light reaction and dark reaction. The following experiment tested only the light reaction. Photosynthesis takes place on the chloroplast‚ and the chloroplast contains chlorophyll pigments which absorb light energy. Pigments
