The purpose of the experiment is to determine the effects of sugar on photosynthesis in Elodea. Sugar water with Elodea‚ water with Elodea‚ and water (control) are used to test for photosynthesis. Five drops of sugar water were added to sugar water with Elodea beaker. The three beakers were left under normal light for photosynthesis to occur. After 60 minutes‚ NaOH solution was added to each beaker to test the volume of CO2. The result shows that both Sugar water with Elodea and water with Elodea

Photosynthesis Background Do you know what is the most important process that sustains life? Photosynthesis‚ that is the correct answer! Photosynthesis‚ is known as the process to produce plant food. But‚ how does is the life exist on the planet we call our home‚ Earth? Photosynthesis is a process that we know that allows water‚ carbon dioxide‚ and some mineral salts along with the light from the sun to make glucose (sugar). During the process‚ the root sytem of the plant takes in elements

rate of photosynthesis until optimal levels are reached‚ then plateauing of results will occur. The hypothesis was refuted by evidence shown in the results (table two) as 0.5% concentration produced the greatest rate of photosynthesis‚ 3.10x10-3. Concentrations of 5% and 10% were deemed unusable as the agapanthus discs would not submerge‚ therefore the results did not enable a range of data. The results of the data indicate that 0.5% NaHCO3 is optimal in determining the rate of photosynthesis‚ 3.10x10-3

American chemist Dr. Daniel Nocera has devoted his career to finding this alternative energy source using photosynthesis as his inspiration. Photosynthesis‚ the conversion of solar energy into chemical energy stored in the bonds of glucose‚ is arguably one of the most important chemical reactions on earth. The maintenance of life on earth‚ our food‚ oxygen‚ and fossil fuels depend upon photosynthesis. In this process water and carbon dioxide are converted to oxygen and glucose using energy from the sun

Abstract: The rate of photosynthesis and cellular respiration can change in varying conditions. How does the rate change with varying degrees of temperature and light exposure? To test this algae beads were exposed to a CO2 indicator‚ which changes colors based on the level CO2 level present. The algae beads were exposed to two different variables‚ light and temperature and tested for color change‚ Ph‚ level‚ and CO2 absorbance level. The beads were exposed to a light and a dark condition‚ and another
Premium Photosynthesis Carbon dioxide Oxygen
Introduction Photosynthesis is a well perceived performance in which plants and other defined organisms use the energy of photons to convert carbon dioxide and water into a simple monosaccharide sugar known as glucose. Photosynthesis provides the fundamental energy source for essentially all living organisms. The most substantial and valuable byproduct of photosynthesis is oxygen‚ one of the most abundant elements living organisms depend on. Photosynthesis occurs in many organisms
Premium Photosynthesis Oxygen
Photosynthesis is a form of a chemical reaction that transforms energy from the sun in to a chemical energy‚ a carbohydrate known as glucose. Only plants are able to use this process to make their own food. This chemical reaction takes place in Chloroplasts‚ cells that are found in any green part of the plant. Chloroplasts are in green fragments of the plants because it contains a green pigment called chlorophyll. Although Photosynthesis can occur in any green portion of a plant‚ it mostly occurs

rate of photosynthesis increased from a cold temperature to room temperature; however‚ the rate of photosynthesis decreased in the body temperature. This means that the hypothesis was rejected. The rate of photosynthesis did increase‚ but only to a certain point. Based on these results‚ it can be concluded that photosynthesis performs better at room temperature that at cold temperature because thee low temperature slows down the reactions taking place in the chloroplasts. Photosynthesis performs

This means that the light intensity actually has an impact on the plant’s photosynthesis levels. The reason that there are more bubbles in the experiments with more light is because of the oxygen release rate. With more light intensity‚ the rate of photosynthesis happens faster. Since the process of photosynthesis release oxygen‚ the more oxygen will be released creating the bubbles underwater. To clarify‚ photosynthesis is the process of which a plant’s chloroplasts‚ with the aid of the sun (or

Photosynthesis is the process in which autotrophs use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. This conversion into chemical energy is associated with the action of the green pigment chlorophyll. Chlorophyll molecules located in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts are arranged into complexes known as photosystems. Each photosystem contains the reaction center complex and is surrounded by light harvesting complexes. The light harvesting complexes are composed of pigment
