Elodea & PhotosynthesisPhotosynthesis 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. IntroductionThis lab has been created in order to find what extent does distance from a light…

Lab Report: Understanding Photosynthesis Gen Biology Lab Abstract: This lab was called photosynthesis: understanding photosynthesis. It is a highly complex process that needs to be broken down in many steps to understand how it works. This lab covers the big components in photosynthesis including carbon dioxide intake, light consumption, and varying pigmentation. Introduction: Photosynthesis is…

APPARATUS/MATERIALS bunsen burner, tripod stand, wire gauze(OR 90oC electric water bath OR hot plate) 250 cm3 beaker boiling tube anti- bumping granules forceps test tube holder white tile leaf to be tested (hibiscus leaves are excellent) 90% ethanol iodine/potassium iodide solution PROCEDURE The video above shows the steps in Testing a Leaf for the Presence…

Energy (TAP), initially in the form of glucose (macroeconomics) is later formed by condensation reaction into starch (polysaccharide). These alpha-glucose units are attached together by glycoside bonds. Starch is formed after the Calvin Cycle in the Storms. Carbon dioxide is present in the air and the water is gained from precipitation or morning dew. The…

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 dioxide affect the rate…

Research Question: Investigate the rate of photosynthesis of an elodea plant by measuring the amount of oxygen that is produced by it. Variable: Independent Variable: The Independent variables are the different colors of cellophane paper that are wrapped around the 15 test tubes. The 5 different colors are green, blue, red, yellow and one without…

Stromatolites are rock-like constructions of multi-layered sheets of micro-organisms ( microbic mats ) that form in limestone. Stromatolites by and large form from the caparison and binding of atoms by micro-organisms e. g. algae and bacterium. and turn upward to acquire light from photosynthesis. Stromatolites provide scientists with some of the oldest records of early…

Introduction This experiment was done to prove the hypothesis: Boiling and lessening in visible radiation will hold negative affects on the rate of photosynthesis in chloroplasts. In this experiment we were told that we would be mensurating the rate of photosynthesis. The decrease of a dye called DPIP is a portion of the measuring technique….

ATP synthase (EC 3. 6. 3. 14) is an important enzyme that provides energy for the cell to use through the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the most commonly used “energy currency” of cells from most organisms. It is formed from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi), and needs energy. The overall…

 Intro/Background In order for oxygen to be present photosynthesis must occur. Photosynthesis takes in light and CA, and through a series of steps produces oxygen. Photosynthesis can be measured by either the disappearance of substrate or the accumulation of product. Examples include the production of 02 or the consumption of CA. All the oxygen within…
