Taxonomy Level: 2.4-B and 2.1-B Understand Conceptual Knowledge Key Concepts: Photosynthesis: light-dependent reactions‚ dark (light-independent) reactions Previous knowledge: In 6th grade (6-2.7)‚ students summarized the processes required for plant survival (including photosynthesis‚ respiration‚ and transpiration). In 7th grade‚ students

natural radioactive element found in the Earth’s Crust. Lead is harming a plant’s NPP can really change vegetation health‚ which could really affect the organisms consuming these plants. The Anacharis Elodea Densa Egeria is a plant that goes through photosynthesis‚ but lead affects this plants NPP. Lead is a type of metal with a dark bluish color. It makes up about .13% of the Earth’s crust and it is a natural element. This means that it was produced or made by nature. Lead is found in many everyday objects

the surface area comparison was conducted for the dark and light for each species we would calculated the gross photosynthesis measured in micrograms of oxygen produced each hour per each centimeter squared. In order to get this number we added the dark and light surface area comparison together for each species. The last and final calculation that was done was in regards to photosynthesis vs. dark respiration. We wanted to know if the algae were producing more in one area vs. another. We did this

(Earth ’s crust). Failures in the oxygen cycle within the hydrosphere (the combined mass of water found on‚ under‚ and over the surface of a planet) can result in the development of hypoxic zones. The main driving factor of the oxygen cycle is photosynthesis‚ which is responsible for the modern Earth ’s atmosphere and life as we know it (see the Great Oxygenation Event).

pioneer species are photosynthetic‚ there are a few limiting factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis: 1. Light Intensity: As light intensity increases‚ the rate of light-dependent reactions that take place during photosynthesis‚ and therefore photosynthesis‚ generally increases proportionately. However‚ as the light intensity is increased‚ another factor will eventually limit the rate of photosynthesis 2. Carbon Dioxide Concentration: An increase in the carbon dioxide concentration increases

Plant Transport Plants are mostly made up of water. Lettuce is about 94% water and a potato is about 77% water. Plants need water for three main purposes: ------photosynthesis‚ -support -transport of chemicals Water is a raw material for photosynthesis. If water is in short supply‚ the rate of photosynthesis will be limited. Plants need water for support‚ otherwise they wilt. Water is needed to transport many chemicals within plants. Chemicals‚ such as mineral salts‚ dissolve in water and

Plant Cells and Solar Cells Photosynthesis is the process of producing and releasing oxygen in the air. It needs sunlight‚ carbon dioxide and water. During the process of photosynthesis‚ the plants decompose the molecules of hydrogen and carbon-dioxide into hydrogen; carbon and oxygen produce glucose which forms the source of their energy‚ growth and food. Few years ago we knew that the only source of energy is photosynthesis which is used by plants to harness solar energy. Nowadays

they can source water whereas fungi can live almost anywhere so long as it has other small organisms nearby. Plants make their own food‚ using water and carbon dioxide to make glucose (energy) and oxygen (a waste product) in a process called photosynthesis. Though very little of it‚ it also lets out some carbon dioxide. This is the reason that it has adapted to live in places with lots of sunlight- so it can absorbed enough of it to make energy. It also grows in ground that has a water source. Different

The Neolithic and Industrial Revolutions The two changes in the use of the earth’s resources that had the greatest effect on the world population were the Neolithic and the industrial revolutions. The Neolithic revolution (a.k.a. agricultural revolution) was a change in the way of life of our ancestors. It took place about 8000 years ago among various tribes in Asia and the Middle East. It included a transition from foraging and hunting to the domestication of animals (most probably starting
