How does the colour of light affect the growth of a plant and which light is best The problem will be investigated is how does colour of light affect the plant growth and what colour is best in terms of speed of the growth of the plant By using the internet I discovered that the problem that I am trying to solve has been done before by various people. As I read the information given off the web it seems that plants that can only absorb certain types of colour of light for example blue or red

NADPH from the light reactions. Unlike the light reactions‚ which take place in the thylakoid membrane‚ the reactions of the Calvin cycle take place in the stroma. In the Calvin cycle‚ getting pulled into the cells using RUBISCO to facilitate the process incorporated gaseous CO2 molecules. RUBISCO acts much like a sponge with a great absorptive power to suck up the CO2 from the air surrounding a plant. Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy‚ normally

Importance of Colour Published on May 18‚ 2007 at 4:59 PM Colour is an important part of our everyday lives. We judge how healthy we‚ our crops and our food are‚ with the help of colour. Our choice of decoration‚ furnishing and clothing is strongly influenced by colour. Colour is involved in almost every aspect of our lives. People and colour perception The human eye is the means that we use to detect colour and it is very sensitive at detecting colour and differences in colour. However

Photosynthesis (pron.: /foʊtoʊˈsɪnθəsɪs/; from the Greek φώτο- [photo-]‚ "light‚" and σύνθεσις [synthesis]‚ "putting together"‚ "composition") is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert the light energy captured from the sun into chemical energy that can be used to fuel the organism’s activities. Photosynthesis occurs in plants‚ algae‚ and many species of bacteria‚ but not in archaea. Photosynthetic organisms are called photoautotrophs‚ since they can create their own food. In plants
Premium Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is a process through which plants and some certain types of bacteria get energy from the sun’s UV-rays and use it to create and store sugar that is transformed into ATP by cellular respiration later on in the process. In plants‚ this process takes place in chloroplasts‚ which concentrate in the mesophyll cells‚ with the help of chlorophyll‚ the green pigment‚ which is directly involved in photosynthesis. It is important to understand that we see leaves green simply because the green

Background Theory Photosynthesis: Plants require water from the soil‚ sunlight and carbon dioxide found in the atmosphere for growth and development. In the process of photosynthesis‚ carbon dioxide and water – in the presence of chlorophyll and light energy – are converted into sugar and oxygen‚ which is given off as a by-product. Generally‚ as sunlight increases in intensity‚ the rate of photosynthesis also increases [1]. This means greater food production within the plant. Many garden vegetables

The lamp experiment is primarily based off of the process of photosynthesis. The experiment tracks the rate of photosynthesis as it is affected by the color of the light source. Changing the light bulb color changes the length of the wavelengths that hit the chloroplasts in the plant leaves and effects how fast or if photosynthesis occurs. The equation for photosynthesis is 6 CO2 + 6H2O + light energy=C6H12O6 + 6O2 meaning that when a plant cell absorbs carbon dioxide and water alongside sunlight

All green parts of a plant have chloroplasts. However‚ the leaves are the major site of photosynthesis for most plants. There are about half a million chloroplasts per square millimeter of leaf surface. The color of a leaf comes from chlorophyll‚ the green pigment in the chloroplasts. Chlorophyll plays an important role in the absorption of light energy during photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are found mainly in mesophyll cells forming the tissues in the interior of the leaf. O2 exits and CO2 enters
