This shows that it has loss all its chlorophyll pigments when there was iodine added at the end of the experiment there was no blue black color found on the leaves Conclusion When added iodine to a leave the blue black color shows the presence of starch Chlorophyll contains starch Analysis We need to add ethanol to decolorizing the leave by removing the chlorophyll. Iodine solution is used to check the presence of starch in a leaf‚ (the color

Spinach Leaves Introduction Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct. The purpose of this experiment is to see how different concentrations of carbon dioxide affect the rate of photosynthesis in spinach leaves. I hypothesize that the greater the concentration of CO2 the faster

transformation of amyloplast into chloroplasts in potato (Solawum tuberosum L.) tuber tissue can be induced by light. Excised potato tuber discs illuminated with white light of 3000 lux bepgn to synthesize chlorophyll after a lag period of 1 day‚ and continued to synthesize chlorophyll for 3 weeks. In this paper we present evidence‚ based on ultracentrifugal sedimentation and immunoprecipitation‚ that the lightmediated synthesis of Ribulose-1‚5-bisphosphate carboxylase began 1 day after illumination

The substances consumed during this reaction is light‚ which is absorbed by chlorophyll molecules‚ which then produces hydrogen ions‚ electrons‚ oxygen gas‚ ATP and NADPH. “The light-dependent reactions drive the light-independent reactions‚ which means the products of the light-dependent reactions‚ ATP and NADPH‚ are required for

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 to the petri dish with the green and black film. This is said because chlorophyll absorbs red and blue wavelengths of light and reflects green wavelengths of light. When referring to the light spectrum‚ red and violet are furthest away from green‚ and would be most absorbed by the leaf. White light is all the colors of the

associated with blue light (Brins et. al. 2000). One possible explanation for our results is that due to the high-energy nature of blue light‚ some of the blue light shining onto the juniper needles is absorbed by plant pigments other than the chlorophylls and is not transferred to the photosynthetic reactions. Xanthophylls and carotenes are possibly dissipating the high-energy blue light because xanthophylls and carotenes absorb only in the blue spectrum. These energy dissipation mechanisms operate

The main pigment that absorbs light energy is chlorophyll which is the green pigment found inside chloroplasts. A green leaf cut out into discs of the same size are used in this experiment. This experiment is carried out to discover how different intensity would affect the rate of photosynthesis. Hypothesis
