Title: Rate of Photosynthesis Introduction: Photosynthesis occurs in plants where the light energy changes to chemical energy. This process occurs in the chloroplast of the plant cell in order to have gas exchange in the organism. Purpose: To measure the effect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis in the leaf cells. Hypothesis: The higher the concentration of the sodium bicarbonate solution‚ the faster the leaf of the plant will rise to the surface of the water in the beaker‚ the

Introduction A chromosome is a minuscule threadlike part of the nucleus and a structured DNA in the form of genes carrying hereditary information (Bridges‚ 1938). Endomitosis is the process of mitosis of chromosomes without undergoing nuclear or cellular division to increase cell volume. This results in a single nucleus having many copies of a single chromosome (Painter & Reindorp‚ 1940). In this experiment‚ Drosophila melanogaster is reared in specific conditions and its salivary gland extracted

Through this experiment‚ Egeria densa was observed using a microscope. The task was to observe and identify the different types of cell‚ cytoplasmic streaming‚ and plasmolysis of Egeria densa. First‚ the microscope was examined and investigated to master the use of the equipment. A microscope slide grid which was on the slide glass was required to be seen clearly using 4x‚ 10x and 30x. During the latter part of the experiment‚ the Egeria densa was observed using the microscope to understand the

ADI Lab investigation: Photosynthesis Introduction and goals: In our experiment we worked with photosynthesis‚ which is the process of light energy‚ CO2 and H2O being turned into food for the plant. CO2+H2O+ Light energy=C6H12O+O2 is the formula for photosynthesis. Our group hypothesis was trying to determine weather o2‚ water‚ or the nutrients of the soil determine the mass of the water. The guided question was “Where does the mass that makes up a plant come from?” Methods:

Lab Report #1 Photosynthesis Lab Report: The Effects of Varying Concentrations of CO2 on the rate of Photosynthesis in Spinach Leaves Introduction Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct. The purpose of this experiment is to see how different concentrations of carbon

Investigating the Effects of Plant growth within Abstract This experiment was conducted to determine whether or not those plants can grow in low fertilized‚ less sun light and the control group. Each group had there own task of making sure that the plants were always water‚ each plant had the same amount of light on them. When the plants started to evolve each individual plant was measured of the height. Most of the plants grew faster than others but over the period the plants that grew faster started

Introduction The lung is a spongy organ made up of of irregularly shaped air spaces called Alveoli. The alveoli are lined by a single layer of flat cells and supported by a mesh of fine elastic fibers. The alveoli are surrounded by a rich network of pulmonary capillaries (Couch and Berger‚ 2004). Our lungs are a network of connected tubes that bring oxygen from the air into our blood‚ nourishing the trillions of cells that make up our bodies. The lungs also clean the blood of carbon dioxide waste

The majority of the experimentation in this project relied on the idea that there is a relationship between concentration and absorbance of a solution. This is easy to understand if you can visualize the particles in the solution; and this is especially true if the particles in solution portray a distinct color. The more particles there are in the solution‚ the more they will obstruct the path of the light. This occurs the most at the analytical wavelength‚ where the most light is absorbed by
