converting light energy to chemical energy and storing it in the carbon-hydrogen bonds of glucose. This process occurs in plants and some algae. Plants need only light energy‚ CO2‚ and H2O to make sugar. The process of photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts‚ specifically using chlorophyll. Biologists generally agree that the light process of photosynthesis can be divided into two major reactions. These are often referred to as the light and dark reactions. During the light reactions or photochemical

microscope‚ we see that they are continuously moving and therefore are alive. We have observed that when the cells are in the 10% sodium chloride‚ the chloroplasts are positioned to the sides of the cell wall and the cytoplasm is more expanded. Cells in the distilled water are slightly smaller than the cells in the sodium chloride solution and the chloroplasts have begun moving to the same. Finally‚ cells in the isotonic water are very small and equally spread out through out the cells. Conclusion

incorporate it into malate‚ which they store in large vacuoles. The stomata closes during the day; however‚ the stored malate moves from the vacuole to a chloroplast and releases its CO2. The CO2 is then fixed in the Calvin cycle by the chloroplast‚ and the CAM pathway reduces photorespiration by generating high CO2 concentrations inside chloroplasts. This strategy saves both water and energy. 9. Explain how C4 photosynthesis is based on a spatial arrangement of structures‚ whereas CAM photosynthesis

plants and some algae. Plants need only light energy‚ CO2‚ and H2O to make sugar. The process of photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts‚ specifically using chlorophyll‚ the green pigment involved in photosynthesis. Photosynthesis takes place primarily in plant leaves‚ and little to none occurs in stems.. The upper and lower epidermal cells do not have chloroplasts‚ thus photosynthesis does not occur there. They serve primarily as protection for the rest of the leaf. The stomates are holes which

and plants. The photosynthesis process rate varies from different wavelengths and intensities of light. This lab will evaluate the optimal wavelengths and degrees of intensity during photosynthesis when chloroplast is exposed to light. The mixtures of DCPIP with water‚ PO4 buffer‚ and chloroplast will be prepared in a number of cuvettes. The cuvettes were tested individually at different wavelengths and intensities to find the optimal rate of photosynthesis by using a spectrophotometer‚ measuring

- Cellular Respiration Assignment - 1. What two molecules are formed when a phosphate is removed from ATP? There are three phosphate groups in ATP molecule (Adenosine Triphosphate)‚ when removing one phosphate molecule‚ ADP molecule is formed (Adenosine Diphosphate). 2. What is the function of ATP? Describe the molecule. The function of ATP is storing energy within a cell. ATP is adenosine triphosphate‚ C10H16N5O13P3‚ a high energy complex‚ giving the necessary power to push metabolistic

The purpose of this lab was to investigate whether veins affect photosynthesis rate. It was predicted that having veins would decrease the rate because chloroplast might be less frequent due to the vascular tissue. For this experiment‚ 4 groups were set up: veins and no veins in CO2 solution‚ and veins and no veins in distilled water‚ the distilled water groups served as controls. These 4 groups were placed under a light bulb in order for photosynthesis to occur. No disks experience movement in the
