Problem: Why do leaves change color in the fall? Background: Leaves contain many pigments such as chlorophyll b‚ xanthophyll‚ and beta carotene besides chlorophyll a. They are part of the photosystem in the thylakoids. Pigment molecules can be separated by a procedure called chromatography. The procedure uses a special paper and solvent. The chlorophyll molecules adhere to the paper. The solvent molecules move up the paper by capillary action. Each chlorophyll molecule will travel up the paper at

Between a hypothesis and a prediction? What kinds of hypotheses are useful for scientific investigations that try to explain the natural world‚ and which are not? Give one or more examples of hypotheses that are and are not scientifically useful. (a.) A scientific theory has two components; a pattern

this process‚ also known as photosynthesis to happen it involves three different pigments that give the leaves their color. Trees are autotrophs; this means that they make their own food. The leaves obtain water through their roots‚ but also they need sunlight‚ carbon dioxide‚ and chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is the pigment that gives leaves their green color and makes photosynthesis happen. Without photosynthesis or chlorophyll the leaves would stay the same‚ Photosynthesis (which means putting together

Experiment 1 Cyanobacteria Oxygen Production Through Photosynthesis Date Performed: September 2‚ 2014 I. Introduction a. Background Cyanobacteria or blue green algae are renowned for their tolerability and susceptibility even in wide range of environmental conditions‚ a characteristic of many primitive organisms. CNB are believed to be the agents of autotrophic origin of life thus they probably represent the survivors of the earliest photosynthetic plants‚ along with photosynthetic and chemosynthetic

the structures are called stomata.[1] Leaf transpiration occurs through stomata‚ and can be as a necessary "cost" associated with many processes such as the opening of the pistil and allowing the diffusion of carbon dioxide gas from the air for photosynthesis. Transpiration also cools plants and enables mass flow of mineral nutrients and water from roots to shoots. Water is absorbed at the roots by osmosis‚ and any dissolved mineral nutrients travel with it through the xylem. The rate of transpiration
