SCIENTIFIC REPORT ON THE EFFECT OF WAVELENGTH ON PHOTOSYNTHESIS Red wavelengths will increase the rate of photosynthesis to a greater degree than blue or green wavelengths and thus will be the most optimal for plant growth. This hypothesis will be tested under laboratory conditions using silver beet extracts and DCPIP under different wavelengths and assessing the photosynthetic qualities using a spectrometer at 605nm. Photosynthesis is the process by which the suns visible light (electromagnetic

However‚ conceptually it will be a little easier because the concepts learned in Chapter 9—namely‚ chemiosmosis and an electron transport system—will play a central role in photosynthesis. 1.

Rf values using the collected data‚ and study photosynthesis with isolated chloroplasts. Light energy Light energy Background Information (Activity A): In photosynthesis‚ plant cells convert light energy into chemical energy that is stored in sugars and other organic compounds. It is an endergonic and anaerobic reaction. Critical to the process is chlorophyll‚ the primary photosynthetic pigment in chloroplasts. The chemical equation for photosynthesis is: 36 ATP + 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6

Cellular Respiration Photosynthesis Organelles Mitochondria Chloroplast Organelle Structures The double-membraned mitochondrion can be loosely described as a large wrinkled bag packed inside of a smaller‚ unwrinkled bag. The two membranes create distinct compartments within the organelle‚ and are themselves very different in structure and in function. Two membranes contain and protect the inner parts of the chloroplast. The stroma is an area inside of the chloroplast where reactions occur and starches

Photosynthesis and Semiconductor-Based Solar Cells Photosynthesis‚ by definition‚ is “the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy” (photosynthesis‚ 2011). This is a remarkable process that occurs naturally and is one that is required for all living organisms to sustain existence on this planet. The efficiency of this process has sparked inventions‚ such as the semiconductor-based solar cell‚ that would allow humans to produce energy

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration play significant roles in existence of all living organisms on the planet. Supplying energy to the cells they carry out is the main process called life. Photosynthesis is the process by which several living organisms such as plants and bacteria utilize sunlight and several raw materials such as carbon dioxide and water to produce sugars and release oxygen into the atmosphere. It does not only supplies oxygen which required for human life but it is also the

Aim To work out how light intensity can affect the rate of photosynthesis. Hypothesis I think that the further away the light source is the smaller the rate of photosynthesis is. This is because there is a further distance for the light to each the plant in order for it to photosynthesise. Although the closer the light source is‚ the more photosynthesis‚ the light source could also kill or damage the Elodea (type of pondweed) because it could become too hot and denature its cells. But because

can also be called the rate limiting factor as it affects the rate of photosynthesis. Introduction Photosynthesis is an essential process by which plants make their food in order for growth and respiration to happen. Carbon dioxide water and light combine to manufacture food which comes in the form of glucose for use. Light is a very important aspect in plant growth as with light the light dependent reaction in photosynthesis is able to take place. In this process light is used to break down water

Chapter 7 and 8 discuss and give in depth details on photosynthesis and cellular respiration. They are the exact opposites in what they set out to complete in the cells of a leaf. Photosynthesis takes light energy and separates it in the chloroplasts to create glucose. Cellular respiration breaks down glucose to provide energy for the cell. The similarities between them include overlap in some of the enzymes and products and reactants utilized. The differences include the cycles and steps taken to

Bausch and Lomb Spectrophotometer was used. Often objects appear colored because of their absorption of light within regions of the visible spectrum. The color of light we can see is composed of the wavelengths that the object did not absorb. Photosynthesis in plants takes place in organelles called chloroplasts. Chloroplasts contain a number of coloured compounds‚ known as pigments‚ in their thylakoids‚ where light dependent reactions occur(Mitchelsl‚ Reece). Spinach leaves contain chlorophyll
