    Introduction Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplast and is the use of sunlight energy for cell processes. It happens through a number of chemical reactions and the transfer of electrons. It is used as the source of energy (ATP) for plants. The reaction equation for photosynthesis is H2O + CO2 + (Light) (CH2O)N + CO2 In the Hill reaction‚ Robert Hill showed how chloroplasts in water can still function if there is light and an electron acceptor to release oxygen. He proved that the oxygen

    My SRP is determining if the colour of ice affects its melting rate. Ice melts by taking in energy from its surroundings to form heat. This makes the molecules in the ice cube vibrate. As the overall vibration increases‚ the water molecules split from each other turning the ice from a frozen state to a liquid state. Heat can be absorbs in two different ways‚ through direct contact with a hot surface or through radiation of a hot surface nearby. Radiant heat can be contributed by sunlight‚ fires and

    covers assessment criteria 5 and 6 The Photoelectric effect‚ and the Production of Light In 1887 Hertz discovered the photoelectric effect‚ where electrons were emitted from a zinc surface when illuminated with ultra-violet light. These electrons (called ‘photoelectrons’) were only emitted when the frequency of the ultra-violet light was above a certain value (called the ‘threshold frequency’). Criteria 5c Assume that ultra-violet light is falling onto a piece of zinc‚ and photoelectrons are

Alyssa Wright VARIABLE: LIGHT INTENSITY AIM: to investigate the effect of light intensity (lux) on the amount of oxygen produced (number of bubbles) HYPOTHESIS: I predict that the rate of oxygen produced increases‚ as the light intensity increases‚ but only to a point. I predict this will happen because the plant will have enough carbon dioxide and water to keep up with the amount of light that there is. When there is less light intensityphotosynthesis will happen

    STROOP EFFECT AND COLOUR-RELATED WORDS ABSTRACT An experiment was carried out to test if the Stroop effect occurred when a small but significant modification to the conditions was applied to the classic Stroop experiments. Previous evidence suggested that although automatic and controlled processes can work simultaneously‚ they can cause undesired interferences. In this experiment‚ colour names were replaced by colour-related words in the Stroop condition and it was found that the Stroop effect still

    An Experiment to Test the Effect of Temperature on the Rate of Photosynthesis in Green Algae Background Photosynthesis is an amazing process where plants are able to create their own food as well as oxygen using sunlight‚ carbon dioxide (co2)‚ and water. The part of the plant responsible for photosynthesis is the enzymes in the chlorophyll (structures that carry out photosynthesis located in leaves). Photosynthesis is the process of creating glucose. Water + Carbon Dioxide + Sunlight = Glucose

    Photosynthesis Experiment Introduction Photosynthesis is a process used by plants‚ making inorganic molecules into organic molecules (food) using sunlight. Carbon dioxide + Water (mainly from rain)  Glucose + Oxygen From this process‚ carbon dioxide comes from environment. Glucose‚ as a product is used to make energy for growth. Lastly‚ the oxygen is a waste product in this chemical reaction‚ which become part of the Earth’s atmosphere. At this experiment‚ carbon dioxide and water

    measure the relative intensities of light at various horizontal distances from the lamp. The light detector (photocell) will enable us to make light intensity measurements that are more precise than those made with the human eye. The photocell converts light intensity to an electrical potential difference‚ which can be measured with a voltmeter. Using our measurements made from numerous elevations above the table‚ we assumed voltmeters were proportional to the intensity of light and observed a relationship
