    Conclusion In this experiment I tested different light intensities. I tested a normal fluorescent light bulb‚ a 100-watt light bulb‚ a 25-watt light bulb‚ and a 15-watt light bulb. I was surprised to find that the control plant grew the most at 135 mm. The 100 watt plant grew the least at 0 mm due to the fact that it fried the plant. The 25 watt plant grew the next highest at 120 mm. The 15-watt light bulb grew tall fastest‚ but then slowed down and stopped at 98 mm you would want to use this

    of Light Wavelength on the Rate of Photosynthesis  Method  Take a 250cm3 beaker and fill it with distilled water. Use distilled  water so there are no impurities to disrupt photosynthesis. Then take x cm’s of elodia and put it in the beaker. Cover the elodia with the  large end of a funnel and the tip of the funnel cover with a test tube. Then direct a light onto this experiment. Measure the amount of bubbles that come from the elodia for x minutes.  A prediction for this experiment would

    Examination of How Different Colours of Light Affect The Rate of Photosynthesis INTRODUCTION Plants are an essential part of the food chain required by all living things to survive. The growing world population and subsequent alteration to the natural environment has placed increased pressure on available plant resources. This is particularly evident in the area of agriculture‚ where optimum crop productivity is important to meet the increased demand for food by the growing world population

    What Factors Affect the Rate of Photosynthesis in living leaves? Abstract: In this lab‚ four different types of leaves were tested to see the rate at which each leaf photosynthesized. This lab demonstrates how plants store light‚ capture light‚ and use light as energy for reproduction and growth‚ by photosynthesis. The control in this experiment was spinach‚ which was tested before any of the other plants were. The other plants that were tested were English Ivy‚ C4 Plant‚ and a multicolored

    The Effect of Water on Germination and Plant Growth in Marigolds Question: How does the amount of water given to a plant affect how much it grows? Hypothesis: If I give water to a marigold seed then it will germinate and the plant will grow more than a seed not given water. Independent Variable (IV): the amount of water given a seed/plant Dependent Variable (DV): the amount of plant growth Control Group: The group of plants given water Experimental Group: The group of plants given no water

    Title: Rate of Photosynthesis Introduction: Photosynthesis occurs in plants where the light energy changes to chemical energy. This process occurs in the chloroplast of the plant cell in order to have gas exchange in the organism. Purpose: To measure the effect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis in the leaf cells. Hypothesis: The higher the concentration of the sodium bicarbonate solution‚ the faster the leaf of the plant will rise to the surface of the water in the beaker‚ the

    The light reactions of photosynthesis contain two photosystems‚ two electron transport chains‚ and ATP synthase. These parts are embedded in the thylakoid membranes of a chloroplast. The photosystems contain a collection of chlorophyll molecules. Chlorophyll‚ which is the green pigment of leaves‚ absorbs light energy that excites electrons to a higher energy level. Energized electrons from photosystem I are passed down an electron transport chain and added to NADP+ to form NADPH. Electrons from photosystem

    Chlorine in Photosynthesis Experiment Abstract Photosynthesis the means by which green plants and different types of organisms use light from the sun to synthesize foods from CO2 and H2O. Chlorine is a chemical element usually in the form of a yellow-green gas and is a strong oxidizing agent. Elodea is a type of aquatic plant also known as waterweed that is native to North America. In the experiment that took place‚ the effect of chlorine in the presence of photosynthesis reactions were studied
