BIOLOGY Coursework Photosynthesis Made By: Mike Alexander= Definition: Photosynthesis is a process by which plants make their own organic‚ complex food (glucose) from organic‚ simple‚ raw materials using sunlight energy (which is converted to chemical energy) and enzymes in the chloroplasts (mainly mesophyll cells called palisade cells). How It Works: Carbon Dioxide + Water  Glucose + Oxygen 6CO2

rate of photosynthesis increased from a cold temperature to room temperature; however‚ the rate of photosynthesis decreased in the body temperature. This means that the hypothesis was rejected. The rate of photosynthesis did increase‚ but only to a certain point. Based on these results‚ it can be concluded that photosynthesis performs better at room temperature that at cold temperature because thee low temperature slows down the reactions taking place in the chloroplasts. Photosynthesis performs

"The light begins…the light ends" Dulce Maldonado Abstract: In this lab the students did two labs in which they learned the process of photosynthesis‚ which involves the use of light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugar‚ oxygen‚ and other organic compounds. Oxygen is released as a product. This process is often summarized by the following reaction: 6CO2 + 12H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6H2O + 6O2 The energy of photosynthesis comes from absorbed photons found in light and involves

Truesdell AP Biology Period 5 2 October 2013 CHAPTER 7 STUDY GUIDE AN OVERVIEW OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS Autotrophs are plants that can feed themselves by making their own food. Photo-autotrophs are organisms that produce organic molecules from inorganic molecules using the energy of light. Producers are when plants make their own organic molecules. A redox reaction is oxidation and reduction. Photosynthesis takes water and carbon dioxide to make glucose and oxygen. Cellular respiration takes glucose

Photosynthesis is a chemical process that converts the sunlight into a chemical energy that plants store for later. Without photosynthesis‚ the world as we know it would not exist. All the plants would die and so would a major food and oxygen source. During Photosynthesis water is sucked up through the roots up the stem and to the leaves. The leaves take in carbon dioxide and begin to absorb sunlight. these things combine to make glucose and oxygen. The plant then uses the glucose and oxygen is

WHAT IS PHOTOSYNTHESIS? 3 Every day the total amount of energy that is captured through photosynthesis all across our planet is equal to approximately 135 terawatts. Now to put this number into perspective the entire human race consumes approximately 15 terawatts of energy daily. This means that there is 9 times more energy being absorbed every day through photosynthesis‚ as there is energy being consumed by all of mankind (Bridges 2008). In order to fully understand photosynthesis

For information on how this assignment will be graded‚ please visit the Course Information sectionChlorophyll and Accessory Pigments A pigment is any substance that absorbs light. The color we see comes from the wavelengths of light that reflect. Chlorophyll‚ the green pigment common to all photosynthetic cells‚ absorbs all wavelengths of visible light except green. The green reflects back to our eyes

wavelength of visible light affects the rate of growth of aquatic plants Different wavelengths of light will effect to rate of photosynthesis. I will test this by exposing the pondweed to different wavelengths of light to see how it reacts. Method I will do this by passing white light through a filter. The filter will remove all unwanted wavelengths of light leaving the plant exposed to only the desired wavelength of light. I will use three different wavelengths of light 750nm (red)‚ 650nm
