Living things get energy to do things through photosynthesis‚ food molecule breakdown‚ build up‚ storage‚ and lastly cellular respiration. All of these ideas are the reason that myself and others have energy to do anything and everything. Photosynthesis is one way plants(plants are the main source of energy for all things)get energy to do things. The reactants of this are water‚ carbon dioxide‚ and although light energy is not a reactant‚ it is necessary once the energy from the seed is gone. Carbon

Lab 4: Photosynthesis and Chromatography of Spinach Leaves Discussion: The chromatography of the spinach leaves was taken to establish what pigments were present in the chloroplasts of the leaves. The solvent carried and separated the different pigments up the cellulose paper. The solvent moved up the paper because of capillary action because of adhesion of the solvent molecules and the paper. The pigments dissolved in the solvent also were carried up the paper and were separated because

Photosynthesis Lab Kozlowski Kendal Schweiss Hour 6 Introduction: Photosynthesis is carbohydrate production using light and chlorophyll. It is a process when green plants and other organisms turn carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates and oxygen‚ using light energy trapped by chlorophyll. The rate of photosynthesis can be measured by either the disappearance of substrate or the accumulation of product. 2H2O + CO2 + light -> carbohydrate (CH2O) + O2 + H2O There is a spongy mesophyll

Lab 4: Plant Transpiration Project By Shelby Hyde Lab 030 Date Due: March 12‚ 2013 The Effect of Wind on the Rate of Transpiration Introduction: Transpiration is the process through which water is evaporated from plants. This serves many purposes‚ including thermoregulation and the diffusion of CO2‚ but most importantly creates a water potential difference which causes the mass flow of water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves of the plant. Transpiration is accomplished through structures

Fast Plants Lab Background Gregor Mendel is an Australian monk‚ who worked in a garden at a monastery. He experimented with pea plants‚ and soon became known as the father of genetics. The reason he studied pea plants was because they grow quickly‚ the traits can be easily observed‚ and the plant is easy to pollinate. Mendel’s method was to control the pollination of the pea plants and create offspring’s of the two plants that were pollinated together. Using self-pollination and cross pollination

Factors Affecting Photosynthesis Low light intensity lowers the rate of photosynthesis. As the intensity is increased the rate also increases. However‚ after reaching an intensity of 10‚000 lux (lux is the unit for measuring light intensity) there is no effect on the rate. Very high intensity may‚ in fact‚ slow down the rate as it bleaches the chlorophyll. Normal sunlight (usually with an intensity of about 100‚000 lux) is quite sufficient for a normal rate of photosynthesis. Open and Closed

Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Nina R. McCray May 5‚ 2015 Biology Lab (SCIE207-1502-A-07) LaDonna McCowan-Ferrier Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Lab Report Introduction This is an investigation of the effect of the intensity of light (photosynthesis) have on the rate of cellular respiration (measured as the number of oxygen bubbles). We will determine whether or not it is possible to examine the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration under controlled

HW Review for Photosynthesis exam: Due Monday March 28 Reminder your lab write up will be a next week. If your lab is this Friday you also will get a week to complete your full lab write-up. Sample questions: 1. twenty-five plants were placed in each of four closed containers and then exposed to light conditions shown in the data table below. All other environmental conditions were held constant for a period of 2 days. At the beginning of the investigation‚ the quantity of CO2 present in each closed

Effects of Snails and Elodea in Water on Carbon Dioxide Levels Problem: How does varying the type of organism (plant or animal) in the level affect the level of carbon dioxide? Background: This lab is used to test the effect the respiration rates in plants in animals and how it affects the level of carbon dioxide present in the water. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are gases that are vital to all organisms‚ whether it is given or released through that organism. Both plants and animals use oxygen
