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

increase in the pressure within the portal vein or one of its branches. Typical portal vein pressure is 5 to 10 millimeters of mercury (abbreviated mmHg).

Normally‚ the veins come from the stomach‚ intestine‚ spleen‚ and pancreas. They merge into the portal vein‚ which then branches into smaller vessels and
