Elodea & Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a by-product. Introduction This lab has been created in order to find what extent does distance from a light source (5cm‚ 10cm‚ and 15cm) affect the rate of photosynthesis (measured in bubbles / 3 min) in Elodea water plants. Hypothesis:

Photosynthesis is a process that allows organisms to trap sunlight energy and convert it directly into potential chemical energy. Enzymes are required in order for the biochemical reactions to occur because they act as a catalyst to convert energy from sunlight into chemical potential energy. Two consecutive steps allow the photosynthesis process to take place. These steps are light-independent reactions‚ and light dependent reactions. The occurrences of Light-independent reactions happen in the

Benjamin Kleveland 502 October 26‚ 2014 Lab 7 Report Lights Distance and Wavelength Effect on Photosynthesis Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are often mistaken as the same thing. Although they are similar in many ways‚ photosynthesis and cellular respiration are the exact opposite of each other. Not figuratively‚ but literally the reverse (Photosynthesis). They incorporate the others products while adding some outside energy to create a never ending cycle. This brings us to the photochemical

Title: Effects of Light on Photosynthesis Introduction: Photosynthesis is the complex process by which carbon dioxide and water are used to make carbohydrates by using light energy in green plants. The objective of this experiment is to measure the rate of photosynthesis Hypothesis: The petri dish that is exposed to the most light and with the NaHCO3 solution will have the best results and the petri dish that is kept in the dark will have the poorest results.

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

measured to determine the rate of photosynthesis. This experiment was set up to discover how different wavelengths of light affect the rate of photosynthesis in a spinach‚ DPIP‚ phosphate solution. I proposed that the spinach‚ DPIP‚ phosphate solution under no filter‚ and therefore exposed to all light will have a highest percent orange light transmittance and a highest rate of photosynthesis. The solution under the red filter will have the next highest rate of photosynthesis‚ then the solution under the

Introduction: Photosynthesis is a process to which some autotrophs such as plants produce their own food. It has two stages or reactions light-dependent and light-dependent reactions. The light dependent reactions are the first stage‚ where energy from sunlight is captures in Photosystem 2 and then 1‚ the electrons generated in Photosystem 1 then moves along the electron transport chain. The moving of electrons causes a hydrogen ion gradient that is used in the final step to produce ATP‚ by the

Introduction Photosynthesis the process where plants use sunlight (energy) to synthesize foods forming the products carbohydrates and water (H20 + CO2 + Light CH2O + O2). For photosynthesis to take place they need water‚ carbon dioxide and light and chloroplasts. Light is absorbed inside he thylakoid
