investigate the effect of carbon dioxide concentration on the rate of photosynthesis Introduction Photosynthesis is a process that is essential for every living organism. Organic substances‚ such as glucose‚ are made from carbon dioxide and water by light energy from the sun. The light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and converted to chemical energy. During the process‚ oxygen is released as a by-product. The rate of photosynthesis is affected by a few of factors‚ including light intensity

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 results of photosynthesis as compared

In the experiment‚ the effect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis will be tested. Photosynthesis is the process in which autotrophic plants create their own food (energy) from sunlight. Photosynthesis involves three ‘ingredients’ or reactants‚ carbon dioxide‚ water‚ and light energy (sunlight). Carbon dioxide and sunlight come in through a leaf’s stomata which are tiny holes‚ and water is absorbed through their roots. When all of these reactants are combined in a plant’s chloroplasts

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

CONCENTRATION USING UV- VISIBLE SPECTROPHOTOMETER INTRODUCTION In chemistry‚ spectrophotometry is the quantitative measurement of the reflection or transmission properties of a material as a function of wavelength. It is more specific than the general term electromagnetic spectroscopy in that spectrophotometry deals with visible light‚ near-ultraviolet‚ and near-infrared‚ but does not cover time-resolved spectroscopic techniques. Spectrophotometry involves the use of a spectrophotometer. A spectrophotometer

Abstract on Determining the Photosynthetic Activity in Plants Using Different Wavelengths of Light using Chromatography and a Spectrophotometer In this experiment‚ the separation of particular pigments‚ contained within a fresh spinach leaf‚ were examined. Paper chromatography is the process of separating certain molecules‚ or pigment molecules‚ based upon their polarity. Four different pigments were examined from the spinach leaf: chlorophyll a‚ chlorophyll b‚ xanthophyll‚ and carotene. Based

The lamp experiment is primarily based off of the process of photosynthesis. The experiment tracks the rate of photosynthesis as it is affected by the color of the light source. Changing the light bulb color changes the length of the wavelengths that hit the chloroplasts in the plant leaves and effects how fast or if photosynthesis occurs. The equation for photosynthesis is 6 CO2 + 6H2O + light energy=C6H12O6 + 6O2 meaning that when a plant cell absorbs carbon dioxide and water alongside sunlight

Introduction: Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use the light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into simple sugar called glucose‚ which provides a basic energy source for the plant. Photosynthesis occurs in leaves that contain specialized cell structures called chloroplasts. Chloroplasts contain molecules of a green pigment called chlorophyll‚ consisting largely of carbon and hydrogen. It gives green color and absorbs the necessary light for photosynthesis. Chloroplasts

Abstract Photosynthesis is a food making process for algae 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

The data found in this experiment supported the initial statement in the hypothesis‚ that blue would have the highest rate of photosynthesis (see Figure 7). The second part of the prediction was refuted by the data‚ as green had a higher rate than both yellow and red. This result seems to go against the experiment‚ however the answer is in Figure 5. When adding green food coloring to the solution (see Methods) dilution also took place. When comparing the wavelength of 540 nm (see Tables 1 & 2) with
