Elodea & Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a by-product. Introduction This lab has been created in order to find what extent does distance from a light source (5cm‚ 10cm‚ and 15cm) affect the rate of photosynthesis (measured in bubbles / 3 min) in Elodea water plants. Hypothesis:

measured to determine the rate of photosynthesis. This experiment was set up to discover how different wavelengths of light affect the rate of photosynthesis in a spinach‚ DPIP‚ phosphate solution. I proposed that the spinach‚ DPIP‚ phosphate solution under no filter‚ and therefore exposed to all light will have a highest percent orange light transmittance and a highest rate of photosynthesis. The solution under the red filter will have the next highest rate of photosynthesis‚ then the solution under the

Introduction A chromosome is a minuscule threadlike part of the nucleus and a structured DNA in the form of genes carrying hereditary information (Bridges‚ 1938). Endomitosis is the process of mitosis of chromosomes without undergoing nuclear or cellular division to increase cell volume. This results in a single nucleus having many copies of a single chromosome (Painter & Reindorp‚ 1940). In this experiment‚ Drosophila melanogaster is reared in specific conditions and its salivary gland extracted

Conclusion I predicted that if the decolorization of DPIP is caused by photosynthesis and not cell respiration and spinach extract containing chloroplasts and mitochondria is incubated with DPIP‚ then the rate of DPIP decolorization should be higher if in bright light verses dark light because DPIP is reduced by photosynthesis and not by the mitochondria or any other cellular function. If DPIP was only decolorized by chloroplasts‚ then the percent transmittance of chloroplast suspensions would be

Virtual Lab: Optimizing Photosynthesis Maria Diaz March 12‚2012 Pre-Lab Questions 1. Which two variables are controlled in a similar manner? The two variables that can be controlled in a similar manner are CO2 & the light level. 2. How can you get the results to the investigation faster? You can get the results to the investigation faster by adjusting the speed at the bottom of the water weed simulation. 3. How will you be able to determine the rate of photosynthesis

Photosynthesis Lab Gizmo website: www.explorelearning.com Class code: EFVNHTVRGY Gizmo Warm-up During photosynthesis‚ plants use the energy of light to produce glucose (C6H12O6) from carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ and water (H2O). Glucose is a simple sugar that plants use for energy and as a building block for larger molecules. A by-product of photosynthesis is oxygen. Plants use some of the oxygen they produce‚ but most of it is released. In the Photosynthesis Lab Gizmo™‚ you

Photosynthesis Lab Kozlowski Kendal Schweiss Hour 6 Introduction: Photosynthesis is carbohydrate production using light and chlorophyll. It is a process when green plants and other organisms turn carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates and oxygen‚ using light energy trapped by chlorophyll. The rate of photosynthesis can be measured by either the disappearance of substrate or the accumulation of product. 2H2O + CO2 + light -> carbohydrate (CH2O) + O2 + H2O There is a spongy mesophyll

How does photosynthesis model the Law of Conservation of Matter and The Law of Conservation of Energy? Photosynthesis models the Law of Conservation of Matter and the Law of Conservation of Energy‚ and there is evidence from some articles that were read to prove this statement. First‚ the Law of Conservation of Matter is modeled in photosynthesis‚ because in the Photosynthesis for Kids article it stated‚”Photosynthesis occurs when Chlorophyll‚ a green pigment that collects lights‚ consumes radiant
