rate of photosynthesis until optimal levels are reached‚ then plateauing of results will occur. The hypothesis was refuted by evidence shown in the results (table two) as 0.5% concentration produced the greatest rate of photosynthesis‚ 3.10x10-3. Concentrations of 5% and 10% were deemed unusable as the agapanthus discs would not submerge‚ therefore the results did not enable a range of data. The results of the data indicate that 0.5% NaHCO3 is optimal in determining the rate of photosynthesis‚ 3.10x10-3

light on the rate of photosynthesis was investigated in this experiment. The results from Figure 13 suggest that white light‚ containing all wavelengths of coloured light‚ has the highest rate of photosynthesis. Purple light had the second highest efficiency‚ followed by blue‚ red‚ and yellow light. Green light was significantly less efficient‚ producing the second lowest pH reading (Figure 14). The samples exposed to no light had the lowest rate of photosynthesis. The hypothesis that white light would

It is still being debated to on exactly when did the ancestor of our species began to walk on two legs. One hypothesis relies on a 6-7 million year old skull of Sahelanthropus tchadensis. The skull was discovered in the Djurab Desert in Chad. Since only the skull was discovered‚ it is still unclear on how Sahelanthropus tchadensis fits in our evolutionary

MM Hypothesis – A Critique The assumptions of MM hypothesis are unrealistic and untenable in practice. As a result‚ the conclusions that dividend payment and other methods of financing exactly offset each other and hence‚ the irrelevance of dividends‚ is not a practical proposition; it is of merely theoretical relevance. The validity of MM approach is open to question on two counts: 1. Imperfection of Capital market 2. Resolution of uncertainty Market Imperfection MM assume that capital markets
