The effect of different wavelengths of light on photosynthesis rate in spinach leaves Abstract: This experiment was performed to test the effect of different wavelengths of light had on photosynthesis. According to the results gathered we can say that if two plants are put under different lights‚ one green and one a normal light‚ that the plant under the normal light will perform photosynthesis at a higher rate than the plant under the green light. This experiment is important because it shows

supports my hypothesis that endomitosis has occurred. I observed that polytene chromosomes were big‚ light and had dark banding patterns with all homologous pairs of chromosomes connected to chromocentre similar to Baudisch ’s observation in his 1977 paper. The disadvantage of the method used was that the extraction process was very hard and without lots of practise is a not practical method for fast good results. The biological significance of endomitosis is not fully and properly understood but scientists

Ink Chromatography Lab Background Information Paper chromatography is an analytical method that is used for separating and identifying mixtures of substances into their smaller parts. Paper chromatography works because the ink used contains several dyes (pigments) that when place on porous paper are dissolved in a solvent by capillary action. When the pigments (solutes) are dissolved in the solvent (water & alcohol mixture) they move through the paper at different rates depending on their

Section 1 Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to separate plant pigments using chromatography‚ calculate 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

Separation Of A Dye Mixture Using Chromatography ********* AP Chemistry (3rd Block) Fauquier High School 8/ 31/ 13 ABSTRACT: The Rf values of seven known color dyes and three unknown samples were observed in order to compare results and discover the hidden identities of the three samples. Three solvents‚ H2O‚ Isopropyl alcohol‚ and a 2% NaCl solution‚ were introduced to the dotted chromatography strips to show three different ratios for each dye on

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
