Investigation 5: Photosynthesis Problem: If the leaf disks are treated in a way you know increases the net rate of photosynthesis‚ should they start to float faster or slower? Why? Hypothesis: If the leaf disks were bathed in a red light source‚ then the rate of photosynthesis would increase than leaf disks that are bathed in a regular light source because chlorophyll absorbs red pigment and reflects green pigments. Therefore‚ shining a red light source onto the leaf disks would cause them

Photosynthesis Matt Lazar 5/13/96 8th Hr. When you and me eat‚ we find our food. When plants eat‚ they make their own food and energy. They make their food and energy through a process called photosynthesis. Through photosynthesis oxygen is also produced. Photosynthesis is "a process in which green plants synthesize carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water....The reverse of this reaction provides energy for plants‚ for animals that eat plants‚ for animals that eat animals that eat plants"

The rate of photosynthesis in each of the beakers will depend what is wrapped around the beakers such as red and blue cellophane‚ as well as the control of the experiment the beaker without cellophane. The cellophane will directly impact the light getting absorbed as well as the amount of CO2 in the beakers. Which overall as result will determine the final color of the water mixed with bromothymol blue. What was being measured was the color of the water after CO2 has been blown in the beakers. The

Name Biology-Honors Teacher December 6‚ 2012 Photosynthesis Lab 1. Introduction: Light dependent reactions are the first phase of photosynthesis. It requires light to happen and happens in the thylakoid membrane in a chloroplast. The light energy is absorbed from the sun and converted into chemical energy. Which is then stored temporarily in ATP and NADPH. Hypothesis: I predict that the wavelength intensity will affect the rate of photosynthesis more than light intensity will. 2. Data:

possible by my AP Biology teacher’s assignment. If not for her‚ I would never have sat down and composed a four page script about Photosynthesis. I would also like to thank my supporting family for listening to my complaints and frustrations throughout this process. My gratitude goes out to the AP Bio Facebook group as well‚ for answering all the questions I had about Photosynthesis. Thank you all very much.

Photosynthesis review Short Answer 1. How do heterotrophs obtain energy? 2. What is ATP‚ and when is energy released from it? 3. Write the overall equation for photosynthesis in both symbols and words. 4. Photosystems I and II are both located in the thylakoid membrane. What advantage does their proximity provide? 5. What does the Calvin cycle do? 6. What is the difference between an autotroph and a heterotroph? Give an example of each type of organism. 7. Explain how heterotrophs

Chloroplasts and Photosynthesis All animals and most microorganisms rely on the continual uptake of large amounts of organic compounds from their environment. These compounds are used to provide both the carbon skeletons for biosynthesis and the metabolic energy that drives cellular processes. It is believed that the first organisms on the primitive Earth had access to an abundance of the organic compounds produced by geochemical processes‚ but that most of these original compounds were used up billions

Photosynthesis Experiment Introduction Photosynthesis is a process used by plants‚ making inorganic molecules into organic molecules (food) using sunlight. Carbon dioxide + Water (mainly from rain) Glucose + Oxygen From this process‚ carbon dioxide comes from environment. Glucose‚ as a product is used to make energy for growth. Lastly‚ the oxygen is a waste product in this chemical reaction‚ which become part of the Earth’s atmosphere. At this experiment‚ carbon dioxide and water

How does photosynthesis model the Law of Conservation of Matter and The Law of Conservation of Energy? Photosynthesis models the Law of Conservation of Matter and the Law of Conservation of Energy‚ and there is evidence from some articles that were read to prove this statement. First‚ the Law of Conservation of Matter is modeled in photosynthesis‚ because in the Photosynthesis for Kids article it stated‚”Photosynthesis occurs when Chlorophyll‚ a green pigment that collects lights‚ consumes radiant

I can model Photosynthesis with The Law of Conservation Of matter and The Law of Conservation of energy. I know this because of the articles i’ve read the articles are Discovering the secrets of Photosynthesis‚ Joseph Priestley‚ Discoverer of Oxygen and Photosynthesis: Yucky chemistry Details. Photosynthesis is a good example of the Law of conservation of Energy because in the process of Photosynthesis the radiant energy is absorbed by the plant. The radiant energy is then turned into chemical
