is called photosynthesis. This process is used by plants and other organisms for synthesis of lipids and amino acids or can be metabolized during cellular respiration to produce ATP. This process takes place in chloroplasts‚ which is a plastid that contains chlorophyll and involves two interlinked reactions‚ which are light dependent reactions and light independent reactions. Throughout our lab experiment‚ we focused on the affect access of light has on carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. Carbon

Factors Limiting Photosynthesis The rate of photosynthesis increases with increasing light intensity. But too much light intensity can slow down the rate of photosynthesis because the light damages chloroplasts in the leaf. The higher the temperature the greater the rate of photosynthesis as photosynthesis is a chemical reaction and chemical reactions increase with temperature. But at temperatures above 40 C the rate slows down because the enzymes involved are destroyed

measured in the number of bubbles produced by the plant. Three factors that influence the rate of photosynthesis can be adjusted in the simulator to determine how each of the factors affects the rate of photosynthesis.

Gabriel Alizaidy Liquid Chromatography September 14‚ 2009 Objective: To separate the components of unsweetened‚ grape flavored Kool-Aid. Procedure: Using two syringes‚ inject different concentrations of alcohol to extract red and blue dyes‚ and artificial flavoring. Data: Conclusion: Different dyes are shown when separated by different concentrations of isopropyl alcohol. Discussion of Theory: Chromatography‚ resolution and selectivity played major roles in making the experiment work

determining the spectrum of light each absorbs. By using paper chromatography‚ different pigments of spinach leaves can be separated. The knowledge gained in this experiment is relevant to understanding how the process of photosynthesis works. A Real-world application for this includes the harvesting of clean energy sources‚ as scientific advances have led the way to artificial photosynthesis on the path to replace fossil fuels (Nath‚ 237). Photosynthesis converts light received from the sun into chemical energy

Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is the process by which plants‚ some bacteria‚ and some protistans use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar‚ which cellular respiration converts into ATP‚ the "fuel" used by all living things. The conversion of unusable sunlight energy into usable chemical energy‚ is associated with the actions of the green pigment chlorophyll. Most of the time‚ the photosynthetic process uses water and releases the oxygen. Cellular respiration

and Wavelength Effect on Photosynthesis Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are often mistaken as the same thing. Although they are similar in many ways‚ photosynthesis and cellular respiration are the exact opposite of each other. Not figuratively‚ but literally the reverse (Photosynthesis). They incorporate the others products while adding some outside energy to create a never ending cycle. This brings us to the photochemical and biochemical reactions of photosynthesis and cellular respiration

1. Explain how photosynthesis and respiration are linked in order to provide you with energy from the food you eat. Include in your paper: •Complete descriptions of photosynthesis and aerobic respiration. •Describe how these two processes are linked between plants and animals based on the reactants and products (water‚ carbon dioxide‚ glucose and oxygen) of both pathways. •Include a description of how energy is transferred from sunlight to ATP‚ from ATP to sugars‚ and from sugars

Photosynthesis Background Do you know what is the most important process that sustains life? Photosynthesis‚ that is the correct answer! Photosynthesis‚ is known as the process to produce plant food. But‚ how does is the life exist on the planet we call our home‚ Earth? Photosynthesis is a process that we know that allows water‚ carbon dioxide‚ and some mineral salts along with the light from the sun to make glucose (sugar). During the process‚ the root sytem of the plant takes in elements

of ATP. Although both processes are found in double membraned organelles‚ photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts in plant cells and cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of animal cells. Photosynthesis uses water and carbon dioxide as reactants to produce glucose and oxygen where as cellular respiration uses glucose and molecular oxygen as reactants to produce water‚ carbon dioxide‚ and energy (ATP). Photosynthesis is a two part process which includes photophosphorylation (light reactions)
