THE EFFECTS OF CIGARETTE SMOKE TO PHOTOSYNTHESIS Increased Carbon Dioxide Smoke of all kinds‚ including cigarette smoke‚ increases the amount of carbon dioxide where it is present (since smoke is itself produced via combustion). Plants use carbon dioxide to make sugars (during photosynthesis). Its increased abundance‚ therefore‚ makes it easier for the plant to obtain. Thus‚ smoking near a plant actually makes it easier for that plant to obtain much-needed carbon dioxide. Hampering Photosynthesis

Investigation into the photosynthetic activity of isolated chloroplasts from spinach beet to various light conditions. Introduction Chlorophyll‚ an important pigment in chloroplasts‚ is an essential component in photosynthesis; converting electromagnetic radiation from the sun into potential chemical energy. Photons excite electrons in chlorophyll which move through the electron transport chain‚ resulting in energy being stored in the bonds of ATP and NADPH. The flow of electron through the electron

Investigations in Light Intensity Change through Angular Displacement Guiding Question How does the intensity of light change as the angle of incidence to the light source increases? Prediction of Results Predict what you think will happen and what type of equation and graph might best fit the data representing the intensity of a light as the angle of incidence increases. Objective After completing this lesson‚ a student should be able to analyze light intensity striking a surface at varying

Abstract For this lab the rate of photosynthesis was analyzed upon plant leaves. A sample of a light exposed and a not-light exposed leave were used to clearly identify the role of sunlight in the process of producing and storing energy. Aim We are trying to find proof‚ to demonstrate the necessity of light and chlorophyll in the process of photosynthesis. Background Photosynthesis occurs in organisms which contain chlorophyll. It’s a process that involves the chloroplasts to synthesize glucose

energy in food originally came from ATP. False pulling together 12. The term photosynthesis means “pulling apart with light” in Greek. True__ 13. The energy of sunlight is stored in the chemical bonds of carbohydrates. 14. Complete the table comparing two types of organisms. Autotrophs and Heterotrophs Type Description Examples Autotrophs An organism that is able to create its own food through photosynthesis (simple organic substances) Plants Heterotrophs An organism that “feeds”

composed to show the effects that different colors of light have on plant growth. We separated our plants into different boxes and then covered the openings with colored cellophane. We conducted this experiment for approximately two weeks. Out of the colors blue‚ green‚ red‚ and yellow‚ the plant behind the blue cellophane grew the most. Research Problem What effects does different color light have on plant growth? Hypothesis The plants will grow taller under the red and blue light opposed to the

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

How do limiting factors affect the rate of photosynthesis? Rate is the measurement of an amount of product or time. In the case of the rate of photosynthesis‚ it is measuring the gain of mass or growth over time. If the plant is an aquatic one that grows in water the rate of photosynthesis can be measured by counting oxygen bubbles or the volume of gas produced in a measured time period. A limiting factor is something that is present in the environment that has a short supply and because of that

INVESTIGATING FACTORS AFECTING THE RATE OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS! Testing Carbon Dioxide Done by: Krish S. AIM: is to plan and carry out an investigation on factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis. We are doing this by investigating the amount of bubbles produced by waterweed to show the rate of photosynthesis and the effects of carbon dioxide (CO2). HYPOTHESIS: I think that the rate of photosynthesis will increase as the rate of CO2 increases this can be seen by the bubbles produced from
