pigments of spinach leaves can be separated. The knowledge gained in this experiment is relevant to understanding how the process of photosynthesis works. A Real-world application for this includes the harvesting of clean energy sources‚ as scientific advances have led the way to artificial photosynthesis on the path to replace fossil fuels (Nath‚ 237). Photosynthesis converts light received from the sun into chemical energy known as ATP. Visible light is absorbed by the pigments found in plants. Carbon

HYPOTHESIS Using train conductors as representatives for all of human kind we can postulate with some accuracy the percent of the population of Earth that are complete and total assholes. If you have ever lived in a small town with train tracks running through it you will know that the conductor of the train is required to sound the whistle at every crossing. This is a 4-part whistle; 2 long‚ 1 short‚ 1 long. My hypothesis is that we can calculate what percentage of the population of planet Earth

Practical 5: determination of activation energy of an enzymed catalyzed reaction Introduction: enzymes are complex chemicals that control reactions in living cells. They are biochemical catalysts‚ speeding up reactions that would occur too slowly to be of any usefulness to an organism. Although in organisms‚ it is not necessary for the reactions to be at maximum rate at all times. Enzymes interact with other molecules to produce a stable system in which the products are made when they are

Photosynthesis is a crucial energy conversion process that occurs in the chloroplasts of eukaryotic cells. The rate of photosynthetic activity holds importance in environmental‚ horticultural and agricultural situations. (Boardman‚ N.K. 1977). Pigments in the chloroplasts thylakoid membrane absorb the electromagnetic radiation from a light source and release an electron into the electron transport chain. DCPIP’s chemical ability to favourably accept electrons‚ and undergo a colour change from

BACKGROUND :- These resins are Thermoplastic Polymers manufactured by copolymerization of cyclic terpene hydrocarbon (like Pinene‚ Carene etc.) and phenol. There are various grades of this resin with softening points ranging from 70 - 110C. These resins are compatible with Natural and Synthetic Rubbers‚ Rosin‚ Alkyd resins‚ and most of the plasticizers and waxes. Applications are in the manufacture of tubes‚ tyres‚ gaskets‚ cables‚ pressure sensitive adhesives‚ hot melt adhesives‚ surgical

The effect of different coloured lights on the rate of Photosynthesis Objective: To find out which colour of light provides the best consequences for the production of oxygen/ the rate of photosynthesis Background: In photosynthesis‚ there are two main parts‚ including light dependent and light-independent reactions. Plants use the energy from light for producing sugar‚ which is being converted into ATP by cellular respiration. They also are the only organisms that produce oxygen along with glucose

Based off the results from this lab the student was able to determine and have an overall better understanding of the variables that affect the rate of photosynthesis in a plant. The first variable the student tested in the lab was 30cm of light with CO2 present. The student started this trial with all 10-leaf disks and timed how many leaf disks came up every minute for 15 minutes. One minute into the trial and the student recorded that no leaf disks had yet to rise to the top of the solution. At

This lab was split up into two different experiments‚ using different variables in each. During the first section of the lab‚ we investigated the what the effect of light is on both photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Our hypothesis about this effect was that the cuvette representing ‘no light’‚ being covered in foil‚ would result in a yellow CO2 indicator fluid‚ meaning that there was a decrease in pH and a high level of CO2 was present. Additionally‚ we hypothesized that the cuvette that was

Phenol‚ also known as carbolic acid‚ is an aromatic organic compound with the molecular formula C6H5OH. It is a white crystalline solid that is volatile. The molecule consists of a phenyl group (-C6H5) bonded to a hydroxyl group (-OH). It is mildly acidic‚ but requires careful handling due to its propensity to cause chemical burns. Phenol was first extracted from coal tar‚ but today is produced on a large scale (about 7 billion kg/year) from petroleum. It is an important industrial commodity as a

water on the rate of photosynthesis. Aim: The aim is to investigate how increasing carbonate in water can affect the rate of photosynthesis. Introduction: The rate of photosynthesis can be increased or decreased in many different ways. For example‚ by adding substances like alkaline or salt to the water‚ you can increase or decrease the acidity or basics‚ if the water has too much acidity‚ it can often delay the rate of photosynthesis‚ often stopping the rate of photosynthesis in the plant‚ which
