Research question : How does the different light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis in plants? Objective : To investigate the relationship between different light intensity (by having the source of light at different distance to the plant discs which is at; 10cm‚ 15cm‚ 20cm‚ 25cm‚ 30cm‚ and 35cm ) and rate of photosynthesis of plant. Introduction : Photosynthesis is the process where light energy is absorbed by green plants to convert the raw materials (carbon dioxide and water) into

An Increase in Light Intensity Increases the Rate of Respiration M. Chauntise‚ S. Shaika‚ R. Shantal INTRODUCTION The sun plays a vital role in sustaining an entire living world whether indirectly or directy using a transformation process called photosynthesis. This process assists in nourishing plants and keeping them alive. For example‚ trees grow very tall in the rainforest where there is an abundance of water in order to reach as much light as they can. For this reason‚ in order to survive the

The understanding of light and the effective use of colour in creative work and digital p photography. People effectively using colour in creative work and digital photography has been around for a long time now‚ and the study of light and colour even longer. In this essay I plan to effectively communicate how the human brain perceives light and how the understanding of this has culminated in creative work

In this experiment‚ the class examined how the rate of photosynthesis was affected by different light colors at different distances in shoots of a Cabomba plant. The plants were placed in two different beakers‚ one with recently boiled and cooled distilled water and the other with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. The three different color photoflood lamps used for this experiment were white‚ red‚ and green at four distances of thirty‚ sixty‚ ninety‚ and one hundred-twenty centimeters away

Light Intensity Experiment: For the light intensity experiment‚ our first set of data illustrated strange correlations between the three tubes placed in front of a light source‚ so the data provided in e-campus was used. The tube that was 24 cm away from the light had the greatest decrease in absorbance over the course of 20 minutes‚ followed by the 30 cm and then the 49 cm light apparatus. The tube that was placed in the dark (wrapped in foil) remained a dark blueish-green color whereas the tubes

starch molecules. The process by which this happens is called photosynthesis and results in the formation of oxygen and glucose. Plants take in carbon dioxide‚ water‚ and light then release oxygen back into the air. This process happens because of the movement of hydrogen to the hydrocarbons that are produced during photosynthesis. The discovery of photosynthesis is attributed to Dutch scientist Jan Ingenhousz who was the first to find that light is necessary to the process‚ it happens in the green parts

the relationship of different wavelengths of light and the rate of photosynthesis in spinach leafs. The rate of photosynthesis was measured every five min under light colors of white‚ green‚ red‚ blue and yellow under a light intensity of 2000 lux. The rate of photosynthesis was measured by the spinach disk method in which we replaced the air from the disks with sodium bicarbonate using a vacuum. Under photosynthesis‚ oxygen‚ a product of photosynthesis‚ replaced the bicarbonate solution‚ made the

The effects of different wavelengths of light on the rate of photosynthesis Introduction This experiment was performed to investigate the effects of different wavelengths of light on the rate of photosynthesis. If a multiple colored film petri dishes are place under a 50 watt lamp‚ then the rate of photosynthesis will be greater for those with red‚ blue and clear film‚ than those with green and black film. We believed the petri dishes with the red‚ blue and clear film would produce the best

LIGHT IN PHOTOSYNTHESIS Theory: Leaf discs float normally. When the air spaces are infiltrated with the solution the overall density of the leaf disc increases and the disc sinks. The infiltration solution includes a small amount of sodium bicarbonate. The bicarbonate ions serve as the carbon source for photosynthesis. As photosynthesis proceeds oxygen is released into the interior of the leaf which changes the buoyancy – causing the discs to rise. Since cellular respiration is taking place

Determination of rate of photosynthesis INTRODUCTION Photosynthesis is the major process by which light from the sun is captured by plants‚ algae and some bacteria to produce energy. It is a process in which light energy is converted into chemical energy which is then stored in sugars. Photosynthesis occurs in two stages‚ light-dependant reactions and light-independent reactions. In light-dependent reactions the chlorophyll traps light energy which is then used to excite electrons and split water
