Biology Lab Hypothesis

My hypothesis is the wavelength light will affect the color of the leaf and the size of the fruit of the tomato plant. My goal is to see if there will be any changes in the tomato plant and its fruit. I will be seeking to answer the questions, "Will the wavelength of light affect the chlorophyll’s color in a plant?" and “Will this light also affect the size of a tomato plant’s fruit?” I will also answer the question, “Can plants live with missing one color or all the colors in the spectrum?”
According to the University of Kentucky, radiant energy is used in order for plants to undergo photosynthesis. Radiant energy is then transformed into chemical energy that is used in the plant. This chemical energy is found in various compounds, but the one we see in photosynthesis is sugar. These sugars are then transported all over the plant and are then broken down. The plants use this energy for growth and fruit production.
According to the University of Kentucky, radiant energy that comes from the sun is the best source of light for normal plant photosynthesis. Artificial light can also attempt to replicate the crucial radiant energy needed for plant growth. Three factors should be examined when performing an analysis of …show more content…
I will also test to see if the size of the fruit on a tomato plant will be affected. I will be seeking to answer the question, “Does the color of light affect the chlorophyll in a plant?” I will also be seeking to answer the question, “Does the color of light affect the size of a tomato?” Another question I want to know the answer to is, “What color of light helps a plant grow the best?” Based on what I know, I expect to see changes in the color of leaves, see different sizes of fruit, and see which color of light helps a plant grow best. I hope to show through my results that the color of light does affect the chlorophyll in a leaf and the size of the
