Affects the Amount of Oxygen Created Through the Process of Photosynthesis by Hydrilla,
Chapter I Introduction Photosynthesis is the process by which autotrophic organisms convert light energy to chemical energy in the form of glucose. Without this process life on earth would be very different because every organism directly or indirectly depends on photosynthesis. Photosynthesis helps the plants to grow roots, leaves, flowers and fruits. It is an extremely important process because plant tissue serves as the bottom of every food chain. The process of photosynthesis is dictated by a number of factors one of which is light. Light energy is essential for photosynthesis. Light contains wavelength that may vary in color through absorption and reflection. The different color of light may affect the rate of photosynthesis.
Statement of the Problem This study aims to determine if the color of light affects the amount of oxygen created through the process of photosynthesis by Hydrilla, an aquatic plant. It specifically seeks answer to the following problem: 1. Which color of light affects the evolution of oxygen as sign of photosynthesis?
Hypothesis
The following hypothesis will be tested in this study: 1. Hydrilla will produce the most oxygen when exposed to certain color of light.
Significance of the Study The study is significant to farmers, landscaping businessmen, gardeners and plant enthusiasts in enhancing the growth of plants. The use of specifically colored artificial light where Hydrilla lives which consequently effect greater amount of oxygen released during photosynthesis is deem thought of having greater impact on the macro scale in the world of plant growth. World Hunger is a major concern, if a process could be found through which photosynthetic rate is maximized perhaps food production could be maximized as well and hungry mouth may be fed.
Scope and Limitation of the Study The study has its own limitations. To determine if the color of light affects the amount of oxygen released through the process of
