Lab Question: Does the intensity of light affect the plant’s photosynthesis?
Background information: There are three main elements which has a huge impact on the plant’s photosynthesis: light, temperature, and carbon dioxide.(Plant and Light) However, this lab is focused on how the intensity of light affect the plant’s photosynthesis in order to see how the intensity of light affect the plant’s photosynthesis, specifically Elodea plants. Photosynthesis is a process which happens in all plants and organisms where they absorb light energy from the sun and convert it into chemical energy which is later used to fuel organisms’ livings and activities.(Rate of Photosynthesis) Additionally, Edola plants, genus of aquatic plants, are used in this lab

    Photosynthesis Of Spinach

    In this study, the effects of both varying temperatures and light intensity upon the photosynthetic rate of spinach leaves were observed. Using the ‘spinach immersion’ technique, the rate of photosynthesis under various conditions was quantified by observing the amount of spinach floating on top of a sodium bicarbonate solution. The sodium bicarbonate solution simultaneously supplied the spinach with carbon dioxide for use in photosynthesis, and caused it to sink. When the leaf underwent photosynthesis and produced oxygen gas, the leaf floated to the surface. It was hypothesized that an increase of either temperature or light intensity would lead to an increased rate of photosynthesis, to a degree.…

    The question of this experiment is, what effect does the darkness have on a plant that requires a lot of light like alyssums? It is hypothesized that the plant will wilt and try to conserve energy in the dark due to its bright natural habitat. The experiment has been designed that the effect of the lighting will be tested…

    One of the key similarities between the two stories in All the Light We Cannot See is the presence of a particularly fortified, loving relationship between certain characters. Marie-Laure LeBlanc was extremely close with her father, Daniel LeBlanc just as Werner Pfennig was extremely close with his sister, Jutta Pfennig, and their caretaker, Frau Elena. The Marie-Laure and Werner came to test and justified that the relationships they had with their families was unbreakable. In the novel All the Light we Cannot See, Anthony Doerr proved that the relationships we have with our loved ones will forever give us the strength to persevere. All the Light…

    Leaf Disk Lab Report

    • 3 Pages

    Introduction: Leaf Disk float in water alone. When a solution consisting of a small amount of sodium bicarbonate is added to the water it causes the leaf disk to sink. As photosynthesis continues in the leaf disk it releases oxygen and causes the leaf disk to rise. While cellular respiration is occurring also the rate that the disk raise is an in implicit measurement of the net rate of photosynthesis. The independent variable in this lab is the solution and the light because it can be controlled.…

    Objects are the silent, inanimate characters to a good story. They supply the reader with suspense, inquiries, and information. In the story All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr, Werner, a German boy of the age 15 is deployed to a more prestige school for his advanced skills. Marie-Laure is 14-year-old French girl who went blind and lives with her great uncle, Etienne. Her father was captured and imprisoned while on his way to the Museum of Natural History in Paris.…

    For my self-assessment project over the book “All the Light We Cannot See” by Anthony Doerr, I have created a newspaper titled “The Saint-Malo Monthly”. This title incorporates Saint-Malo, the setting of most of the book. This newspaper is set in August of 1944, which is when the war was at its climax and the major events of the story took place. My first news article is titled “The Mystery of the Sea of Flames”. It is about the legend, looks, and location of the Sea of Flames, a diamond Marie-Laure is introduced to at a young age.…

    “Open your eyes, concludes the man, and see what you can with them before they close forever.” All The Light We Cannot See written by Anthony Doerr, is an incredibly eye opening book about the ways of seeing the world. This book follows blind Marie-Laure a french girl, and Werner a orphaned german boy. The setting takes place during World War Two and follows Marie-Laure and Werner every other chapter describing their lives, and how they are affected by this horrendous time. As you read you grow attached to these essentially forgotten people who are invisible in every sense but yet seem as so important and tediously placed in the world.…

    This process is not only vital to the plants but also for humans and wildlife, as we are reliant on other sources to gain needed amounts of energy to sustain our way of living. If our bodied could not get the need amounts of energy and carbohydrates our organs and vital functions would not have the ability to complete needed processes for life. The purpose of this lab was to see the different changes light color has no the rate of photosynthesis through light intensity and wavelengths absorbed. For this experiment the dependent variable is the rate of photosynthesis and the independent is wavelength and light…

    its color led to the formulation of this experiment. The experiment utilizes chloroplasts of spinach leaves to test the different color lights’ effects on photosynthesis. Green light is said to be the least effective at driving photosynthesis on the electromagnetic spectrum due to being mostly reflected and transmitted instead of being absorbed. Conversely, red light and white light is more effective at driving photosynthesis (Reece, 2011). Thus, a hypothesis was created stating that the rate of photosynthesis will be greater with a red light bulb compared to a green or white fluorescent light bulb.…

    Due to the tidal schedules and the fact that these species are in the inter-tidal zone, the C. coronatus specimens were collected from Zeyton Park of Qeshm Island (location: N 26055.631; E 056015.209). Extraction conopeptide extraction was performed by venom ducts isolation from the cone snails on ice, then cold water and acetonitrile 40%, which completely deoxygenation was added and slowly homogenized in a homogenizer (model Silent crasher, Heidolph, Germany), in ꒼ 16000 rpm for 5 minutes. Then, for 20 minutes at 4 ° C and ꒼ 10000 g were centrifuged. The supernatant containing the conopeptides had been lyophilized at the freeze dryer (Model Christ, 2 alpha, Germany), slowly for 24 hours at -56 0C (Tayo et al, 2011). Analgesic test…
