American chemist Dr. Daniel Nocera has devoted his career to finding this alternative energy source using photosynthesis as his inspiration. Photosynthesis‚ the conversion of solar energy into chemical energy stored in the bonds of glucose‚ is arguably one of the most important chemical reactions on earth. The maintenance of life on earth‚ our food‚ oxygen‚ and fossil fuels depend upon photosynthesis. In this process water and carbon dioxide are converted to oxygen and glucose using energy from the sun

Effect of Extreme Temperatures on the Rate of Photosynthesis 2. Jeffrey Xia 2. Abstract A previous lab in which we conducted‚ tested whether or not the light intensity had an effect on the rate of photosynthesis. We concluded that light intensity did possess an effect on the rate of photosynthesis – the closer the experimental plant units were to the light source‚ the more experimental plant units exhibited the effect of gas exchange in photosynthesis. Therefore‚ in this lab‚ we desired to test

How does photosynthesis impact the flow of energy and the cycling of nutrients‚ you ask? Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis provides the base for the one way flow of energy through the biosphere. Plants convert energy from the sun into sugars‚ which provide fuel for themselves and for other organisms. Photosynthesis also cycles carbon and oxygen nutrients through the

Effect of Temperature on Cricket Respiration Crickets are ectotherms that rely on their environment as a source of heat for their metabolism. Warmer temperatures allow crickets to respire at a greater rate.

References | PAGE | 1.0 Introduction Respiration usually occurs in two ways‚ aerobically and anaerobically. Aerobic respiration uses oxygen to function and anaerobic respiration functions without oxygen. Generally‚ anaerobic respiration starts by breaking down the molecules of glucose and produces pyruvic acid. The pyruvic acid then undergoes fermentation to produce ATP‚ the basic energy source in our human body. Although this kind of respiration is less efficient in producing energy‚ because
