American chemist Dr. Daniel Nocera has devoted his career to finding this alternative energy source using photosynthesis as his inspiration. Photosynthesis‚ the conversion of solar energy into chemical energy stored in the bonds of glucose‚ is arguably one of the most important chemical reactions on earth. The maintenance of life on earth‚ our food‚ oxygen‚ and fossil fuels depend upon photosynthesis. In this process water and carbon dioxide are converted to oxygen and glucose using energy from the sun

so does the mean heart rate of daphnia. Risk Assessment: In this experiment there are the following risks both for the human that carries out the experiment and the daphnia: ← The human that carries out the experiment should be cautious not to touch the lamp with wet hands since it uses electricity. ← Also‚ be careful not to spill any of the pond water on the floor. ← As for the daphnia‚ there is a chance for them to die as when they are exposed to light‚ they are also exposed

of alertness (a CNS effect) but also a higher heart rate‚ blood pressure and respiratory rate. Caffeine also acts as a stimulant drug‚ causing increased amounts of stimulatory neurotransmitters to be released. At high levels of consumption caffeine has been linked to restlessness‚ insomnia and anxiety‚ causing raised stress and blood pressure. This can lead to heart and circulation problems. Hypothesis: Daphnia subjected to a caffeine solution will show a rise in heart rate as caffeine is a stimulant

Elodea & Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a by-product. Introduction This lab has been created in order to find what extent does distance from a light source (5cm‚ 10cm‚ and 15cm) affect the rate of photosynthesis (measured in bubbles / 3 min) in Elodea water plants. Hypothesis:

Abstract The following experiment details the effect of different concentrations of catalase on the production of oxygen and water through the breakdown of Hydrogen Peroxide. In this experiment paper disc where coated in varying concentrations of catalase‚ 0‚ 25‚ 50 75 and 100%. The time taken for the disc to float between two markers on the side of a glass was then recorded. This experiment demonstrates that the higher the concentration of enzyme used the greater the production of oxygen on the

Photosynthesis Background Do you know what is the most important process that sustains life? Photosynthesis‚ that is the correct answer! Photosynthesis‚ is known as the process to produce plant food. But‚ how does is the life exist on the planet we call our home‚ Earth? Photosynthesis is a process that we know that allows water‚ carbon dioxide‚ and some mineral salts along with the light from the sun to make glucose (sugar). During the process‚ the root sytem of the plant takes in elements

Observing the and determining the reaction rate of photosynthesis in Ivy disks Background: All plants are autotrophs meaning they create their own food from inorganic chemicals in their surrounding. In the case of food‚ plants use CO2 to create glucose. In addition to the inorganic chemicals‚ plants use sunlight to create their glucose because the photosynthesis reaction is endothermic. The rate of this reaction‚ in turn‚ can be measures. And this lab uses oxygen which is
