Lil Dejay C4 2/10/14 Photosynthesis: Making Energy Chloroplasts Photosynthesis is a process in which sunlight energy is used to make glucose. The site of photosynthesis is in the chloroplast – an organelle found in the leaves of green plants. The main functions of chloroplasts are to produce food (glucose) during photosynthesis‚ and to store food energy. Chloroplasts contain the pigment‚ chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs most of the colors in the color spectrum‚ and reflects only green and yellow

them and if the same type of tomato seeds were used. Controlled Experimental Method Scientists planted tomatoes and put a batch in sunlight and the others in full shade to find out how the tomatoes would grow and which ones would taste better. They found that the tomatoes in the shade‚ did not grow very well and did not taste good‚ whereas the tomatoes that had sunlight‚ grew to a standard size and had a sweeter taste. Results “The discoloration (ranging from a few millimeters to the top 1/3 of the

amount of incoming sunlight. When there is excessive light‚ the metal tiles as well as our eyelids extend and serve as a blockage in blocking the sunlight. Both actions are composed and facilitated by the cooperation of small units. For the building‚ there are lots of metal tiles and each piece of metal tile cannot function on their own. They must “cooperate” with each other in order to serve for one purpose. For example‚ in daytime‚ the upper metal tile extends to block sunlight‚ at the same time

An experiment that would be able to test the hypothesis that sunlight helps goldfish grow could be easily created by exposing two goldfish in a bowl to direct sunlight‚ having 2 goldfish in another bowl exposed to partial sunlight‚ and 2 gold fish in a third bowl to no sunlight at all as a control. The independent variable would be the bowl that is in the sunlight. The dependent variable is if the fish that have been exposed to sunlight are larger then the ones that have not been. The reason for having

process on Earth and creates the flow of energy and survival for living organisms. Another form of creating energy is chemosynthesis that mirrors photosynthesis but instead uses oxidization of chemicals that seep up from the Earth’s crust and not from sunlight. The organisms that use chemosynthesis are found around hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor. Both processes fuel energy for survival although chemosynthesis occurs in the ocean and fuels organisms with limited to no light and may experience extreme

away from your plants as you would an incandescent bulb‚ so burning of the plants is less likely. High-pressure sodium lamps emit much red-spectrum light and little in the blue spectrum‚ making them ideal for greenhouse flowers to supplement natural sunlight and encourage blooming. Metal halide bulbs emit more blue-spectrum light‚ making them perfect for indoor growing operations for plants that will not flower‚ such as decorative plants and herbs. HPS bulbs last 12 times longer than incandescent bulbs
