Virtual Lab: Optimizing Photosynthesis Maria Diaz March 12‚2012 Pre-Lab Questions 1. Which two variables are controlled in a similar manner? The two variables that can be controlled in a similar manner are CO2 & the light level. 2. How can you get the results to the investigation faster? You can get the results to the investigation faster by adjusting the speed at the bottom of the water weed simulation. 3. How will you be able to determine the rate of photosynthesis

In the BIO 14 Lab‚ the organismal system used for the last of three labs this semester is the Mimosa pudica plant. In these three weeks the stimulus-response of these plants will used to conduct experiments on the phenotypic plasticity of Mimosa pudica. Phenotypic plasticity is the ability of an organism to change its phenotypic traits in response to changes in the environment. And while very beneficial in some ways such as by allowing organisms to adapt to a changing environment quickly‚ it also

Photosynthesis is the process which plants use to change Carbon Dioxide and water into sugar by using the sunlight. Photosynthesis usually take place in plants cell such as chloroplast. In this lab experiment‚ we used sodium bicarbonate to influence photosynthesis. Sodium bicarbonate is a formula of NaHCO3 (baking soda). In this lab experiment‚ we observed photosynthesis in spinach leave and investigated the effect of sodium bicarbonate on photosynthesis. The experiment was to determine how many

\s Household chemicals such as Windex‚ a glass cleaner‚ are known to be harmful to humans but if they affect plant growth could be an interesting experiment. Our experiment consisted of different levels of Windex mixed with water and given to Brassica Rapa plants in order to grow. Are results showed that Windex barely had an effect on the plant growth and the plants showed steady increase in growth. In conclusion‚ our experiment did not assure that Windex add a boost in plant growth but we

The effect of nutrient deficiency and toxicity in plants Nutrient Micronutrient Nitrogen (N) Deficiency effect Toxicity effect Leaves become dark green and susceptible to drought‚ pests and diseases as well as failed yield for fruits and seed crops. Limit the uptake of other nutrient‚ which is magnesium or potassium. Older leaves at the bottom of plant will start to become yellowish (chlorosis) while the rest of the plant’s leaves will be light green. Calcium (Ca) Newer leaves at the top of the

Plant Adaptation Investigation Observations Samples of plants were obtained during the campus tour. In order survive in the harsh climate of deserts‚ plants must adapt in function‚ reproduction‚ support‚ and defense. Although plants on campus are watered frequently‚ they live in a mostly xeric environment. Three types of cacti were observed: organ pipe‚ prickly pear‚ and saguaro. The organ pipe contains no leaves and has narrow stems that carry out photosynthesis and store water. Neither the

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

AP Biology Unit Test Review Guide Plants Obtaining and Transporting Nutrients Pigments and photosynthesis 1. Distinguish between the strategies used by autotrophs and heterotrophs to obtain free energy for cellular processes. In other words‚ how and in what form does each capture and store that energy? 2. Explain how photosynthesis differs in eukaryotic organisms (with organelles such as chloroplasts) and in prokaryotic organisms (single-celled‚ no organelles). 3. How does a metabolic
