Biology Investigation Problem: How does light affect the rate of Photosynthesis? The Plan In my experiment I am going to see how light affects the rate of photosynthesis. To do this experiment I am going to set up the apparatus as shown in figure 1. The apparatus I am going to use are the following: - 1 Tripod 1 300ml Beaker 1 Boiling Tube 1 Clamp Stand 1Clamp 1 Boss 1 Ring Binder 1 Lamp 1 1 Metre Ruler 1 Thermometer 1 Stop Clock To do the experiment I will set up the apparatus first.

the light and the rate of photosynthesis and instead it starts relatively high then decreases and increases again. The colour red gives the highest rate of photosynthesis (89 bubbles per minute) with blue giving the second highest rate of photosynthesis (70 bubbles per minute)‚ and yellow giving the third highest rate of photosynthesis (64 bubbles per minute) and green with by far the least (44 bubbles per minute). Although‚ we can see no direct correlation between the rate of photosynthesis and

Photosynthesis Investigation Research Question How does length of pondweed affect the amount of bubbles produced in 2 minutes by pondweed during the process of photosynthesis? Independent variable: Length of pondweed (8/10/12 cm). Dependent variables: amount of bubbles produced in 2 minutes. Control variables: Volume of water in the beaker (500ml)‚ The volume of water has to be the same every time‚ so when doing the experiment I need to make sure I always use these 500 ml that i have already

The Effects of Light Intensity on the Rate of Photosynthesis Aim: To investigate the effects of light intensity on photosynthesis. Background: Photosynthesis is a process that plants undergo to produce glucose. The plant then uses the glucose to produce energy which the plant needs to sustain life. The chemical formula for photosynthesis is: Sunlight 6CO2 +6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2 Chlorophyll The plant requires light‚ carbon dioxide and

plan to investigate how light intensity affects the rate of photosynthesis in pondweed. The rate of photosynthesis will be measured by the number of bubbles given off (considering that oxygen is produced as a waste gas during photosynthesis). The light intensity is measured by the distance between the lamp and pondweed. Fair test: Fix: the amount of pondweed‚ the amount of water and sodium hydrogen carbonate solution in the test tube‚ the time allowed for each experiment Change: the distance

An Increase in Light Intensity Increases the Rate of Respiration M. Chauntise‚ S. Shaika‚ R. Shantal INTRODUCTION The sun plays a vital role in sustaining an entire living world whether indirectly or directy using a transformation process called photosynthesis. This process assists in nourishing plants and keeping them alive. For example‚ trees grow very tall in the rainforest where there is an abundance of water in order to reach as much light as they can. For this reason‚ in order to survive the

this solvents can be used for chlorophyll extraction. However they have different property called polarity. This property affects their efficiency as chlorophyll solvent. For our tests we used isopropanol and hexan/benzin mixture. Note: solvent mixtures can give better results in extraction of the full complex of plant pigment then individual solvent. You could study how good the different solvents and their mixtures for chlorophyll extraction are. (Good chemistry science fair project idea

Research question : How does the different light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis in plants? Objective : To investigate the relationship between different light intensity (by having the source of light at different distance to the plant discs which is at; 10cm‚ 15cm‚ 20cm‚ 25cm‚ 30cm‚ and 35cm ) and rate of photosynthesis of plant. Introduction : Photosynthesis is the process where light energy is absorbed by green plants to convert the raw materials (carbon dioxide and water) into

wavelengths of light on the rate of photosynthesis Introduction This experiment was performed to investigate the effects of different wavelengths of light on the rate of photosynthesis. If a multiple colored film petri dishes are place under a 50 watt lamp‚ then the rate of photosynthesis will be greater for those with red‚ blue and 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

Biology lab: measuring the effect of light intensity on plant growth Aim: Investigate the effect of light intensity on plant growth Hypothesis: Light intensity will have an effect on plant growth. With an increase in light intensity there will be plant growth at a faster rate in comparison to when the light intensity is low where plant growth is limited and will take place slowly. When there’s too much light intensity‚ the light intensity will no longer become a limiting factor. A limiting
