The Effect of Light Intensity on Photosynthesis and Transpiration Inna V. Raymundo BOTANY I Section V-6L August 29‚ 2012 ¹A scientific paper submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements in Botany I laboratory under Dr. Nonnie Bautista‚ 1st sem‚ 2012-2013. ABSTRACT Photosynthesis and transpiration both play important roles in plants. But there are factors which affect the rate of photosynthesis and transpiration. The external factor that was identified is the

oxygen. It’s a series of electrons carriers in the membrane of the mitochondria. Photosynthesis: • What is the overall goal of photosynthesis? Photosynthesis is a process whereby plants‚ algae and bacteria convert light energy in to chemical energy‚ using carbon dioxide and water. • Because photosynthesis only occurs in plants‚ why is it essential to animal life? Photosynthesis is important for animals because the plants produce the sugar they need as a vital

Research question : How does the different light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis in plants? Objective : To investigate the relationship between different light intensity (by having the source of light at different distance to the plant discs which is at; 10cm‚ 15cm‚ 20cm‚ 25cm‚ 30cm‚ and 35cm ) and rate of photosynthesis of plant. Introduction : Photosynthesis is the process where light energy is absorbed by green plants to convert the raw materials (carbon dioxide and water) into

PLANT SYSTEMS QUESTION 1979:L. PETERSON/AP BIOLOGY In relation to plants‚ describe in detail one way of: a) measuring the rate of transpiration b) measuring the rate of photosynthesis c) separating pigments Essay : Transpiration is the loss of water vapor from land plants into the atmosphere‚ causing movement of water through the plant from the soil to the atmosphere via roots‚ shoot and leaves‚ which occurs mainly through the stomata. Factors which can affect the rate of transpiration are

pump hydrogen ions across the inner mitochondrial membrane (Simon‚ Reece‚ & Dickey‚ 2010). Photosynthesis: • What is the overall goal of photosynthesis? The overall goal of photosynthesis is provide plants with energy which in return provides us with energy when we eat the plant. • Because photosynthesis only occurs in plants‚ why is it essential to animal life? Photosynthesis is essential to animal life because humans and animals rely on the energy from the plants to

converted into starch and stored. Oxygen is produced as a by-product. This process is called photosynthesis. Temperature‚ carbon dioxide concentration and light intensity are factors that can limit the rate of photosynthesis. Plants also need mineral ions‚ including nitrate and magnesium‚ for healthy growth. They suffer from poor growth in conditions where mineral ions are deficient. Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is the chemical change which happens in the leaves of green plants. It is the first step

Irradiance limits the overall rate of photosynthesis under low light conditions. As irradiance increases‚ photosynthesis begins. C4 plants generally exhibit higher rates of photosynthesis when compared with C3 plants because of the fact that although photorespiration rates increase with increasing

and chlorophyll. This process of plants making their own food with sunlight and chlorophyll is called photosynthesis. The photosynthesis process involves sunlight‚ sugar‚ and chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is called a photoreceptor. It is found in the chloroplasts of a plant cell that is within green plants‚ and is what gives green plants their green color. Chlorophyll has a special role in photosynthesis. Chlorophyll molecules absorb light energy. Chlorophyll is a complex molecule‚ which has lead to a
