Title: Rate of Photosynthesis Introduction: Photosynthesis occurs in plants where the light energy changes to chemical energy. This process occurs in the chloroplast of the plant cell in order to have gas exchange in the organism. Purpose: To measure the effect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis in the leaf cells. Hypothesis: The higher the concentration of the sodium bicarbonate solution‚ the faster the leaf of the plant will rise to the surface of the water in the beaker‚ the

purpose of this lab was to investigate whether veins affect photosynthesis rate. It was predicted that having veins would decrease the rate because chloroplast might be less frequent due to the vascular tissue. For this experiment‚ 4 groups were set up: veins and no veins in CO2 solution‚ and veins and no veins in distilled water‚ the distilled water groups served as controls. These 4 groups were placed under a light bulb in order for photosynthesis to occur. No disks experience movement in the first 7

Light Lab Report Introduction: Without light‚ plants would not be able to carry out photosynthesis (McKenney‚ Peffley‚ and Wilmington 49). Photosynthesis is responsible for providing the plant with nutrients it needs to thrive and grow. Without the proper nutrients‚ it is difficult for a plant to continue to live. Therefore‚ photosynthesis is necessary for a plant’s vitality. The goal of this experiment is to observe and identify the impact that light has on a plant. Hypothesis: If light

Photosynthesis 1. Would you illuminate your house plants with a green light bulb? Why or why not? It would not be a wise choice to put a plant under a green light bulb. The reason for this is that due to the fact that the leaves are green they reflect green light. This shining green light onto the flowers will cause photosynthesis to stop. Since the light is being reflectd‚ the cells do not get any light. With out light they cannot carry out the everyday occurrence of photosyntesis. If the

Investigation of the rate of photosynthesis of pondweed. Research question: How does the concentration of sodium bicarbonate relate to the amount of oxygen produced by Elodea (Canadian pond weed) in the process of photosynthesis? Hypothesis: If there is an increase in concentration of sodium bicarbonate the amount of oxygen produced will increase because the sodium bicarbonate concentration will increase the carbon dioxide levels. Independent variable- Concentrations of sodium bicarbonate (8%

Based off the results from this lab the student was able to determine and have an overall better understanding of the variables that affect the rate of photosynthesis in a plant. The first variable the student tested in the lab was 30cm of light with CO2 present. The student started this trial with all 10-leaf disks and timed how many leaf disks came up every minute for 15 minutes. One minute into the trial and the student recorded that no leaf disks had yet to rise to the top of the solution. At

many variables that could affect the rate of photosynthesis and the net consumption of carbon dioxide. In this experiment‚ the effects of how the intensity of light energy affected photosynthesis were observed. Two pieces of elodea was placed into separate beakers and one of the beakers was placed under a bulb of lower intensity and the other beaker being placed under a higher intensity bulb. The results showed that the beaker under the higher intensity light energy had a higher consumption of carbon

the relationship of different wavelengths of light and the rate of photosynthesis in spinach leafs. The rate of photosynthesis was measured every five min under light colors of white‚ green‚ red‚ blue and yellow under a light intensity of 2000 lux. The rate of photosynthesis was measured by the spinach disk method in which we replaced the air from the disks with sodium bicarbonate using a vacuum. Under photosynthesis‚ oxygen‚ a product of photosynthesis‚ replaced the bicarbonate solution‚ made the

AFFECTING THE RATE OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Introduction Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction which takes place inside the green plants (plants with chlorophyll‚ a pigment found in chloroplasts which causes the colour of the plants and it is the main photosynthetic pigment) and light energy is converted into chemical energy. Carbon dioxide‚ water and sunlight is transformed into sugar an oxygen‚ which later will be used as energy for the plant. The chemical equation of photosynthesis is:
