Adenosine Triphosphate‚ also known as ATP‚ is the molecule responsible for the energy that we‚ and all other organisms‚ need to survive. It is produced primarily in the processes of aerobic and anaerobic respiration by oxidative and substrate phosphorylation. 4 molecules of ATP are produced from 4 ADP and 4 inorganic phosphates in glycolysis in the cytoplasm of every cell‚ by the oxidation of a triose phosphate into two molecules of pyruvate. In anaerobic respiration these are the only 4 ATP

wildlife? We must make a conscious effort to conserve the world’s plants and animals. Plants are essential for our own survival. Plants use the sun’s energy to make food—a process called photosynthesis. Therefore plants are the first important link in the food chain of which humans also form a part. During photosynthesis‚ oxygen is released and oxygen is vital for the existence of life itself. Animals need plants in order to survive‚ but plants also need animals. Animals and plants are therefore

THE EFFECT of different COLOR FILTERS ON The rate of photosynthesis in english ivy leaves author: Cherylle chapman partners: sharif alston‚ ALEX SAFAVOV & EDuardo vie (Group 3) OBSERVATIONS & HYPOTHESIS In the lab‚ we observed green plant leaves convert light energy into chemical energy by using photosynthesis. The species of green plant leaves that were used in this experiment were Hedera helix‚ commonly known as English Ivy. These plant leaves have both

germination of a seed affected by sunlight?” Experimental Hypothesis: We believe these results will occur. 1. The seeds that are water deprived (1 mL of H2O a day) will not grow very well due to a lack of water which is important in photosynthesis and also lacks nutrients. The seeds may also die off due to a lack of water. 2. The seeds that are have a proper amount of water (10 mL of H2O a day) will grow the best and achieve the greatest height‚ and overall best appearance.

A. C4 and CAM plants are plants that use certain special compounds to gather carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) during photosynthesis. Using these compounds allows these plants to extract more CO 2 from a given amount of air‚ helping them prevent water loss in dry climates. CAM and C4 plants are similar with the exception that CAM only opens up the stomata’s at night. They both photosynthesis at the same rate for the majority at a time and are tolerate to heat. Plus C4 closes their stomata’s during hot

DISCUSSION Photosynthesis is a process of converting light energy into chemical energy and storing in the bonds of sugar. Photosynthesis takes place in the plant leaves. In the leaves‚ there are mesophyll cells that have chloroplasts‚ where the photosynthesis occurs. During experiment‚ two leaves were tested for the presence and localization of starch. One leaf was a light-grown plant with mask‚ and the other was a dark-grown plant with mask. Both leaves were soaked in iodine solution and then
