1. Introduction
Photosynthesis occurs in plants, is the process of converting light energy into chemical energy and storing it in the bonds of sugar of the organism. This process takes place in the leaves of a plant specifically in the chloroplast and it uses chlorophyll. In order to make sugar plants require only the following: light energy, water, and carbon dioxide. Chlorophyll is made into the membranes of the thylakoids. (Clermont Staff, 2000)
Thylakoid is each of a number of flattened sacs inside a chloroplast, bounded by pigmented membranes on which the light reactions of photosynthesis take place, and arranged in stacks of grana. (Dictionaries, 2015)

It is the process of breaking down food molecules to obtain energy and store it in the form of ATP molecules. Some cells respire aerobically, using oxygen, while others undergo anaerobic respiration, without using oxygen. (Khara, 2013)
It’s is hypothesized that the white light will produce a higher rate of photosynthesis than the green light, since there are more colors involved in white light that are not visible to the man’s eye unless there is the use of a prop. More colors can be absorbed and reflect, from the rainbow range of colors that come from the white light such as reds, blues, oranges and yellows.
2. Materials and methods
Experimenting with white light and green light.
a. Place a generous quantity of fresh end up cut Elodea in the test tube, place a rubber stopper containing a piece of glass tubing. This will be the volumeter for studying the need of light in photosynthesis.
b. Add 3% of NaHCO3 solution.
c. Place a beaker of plain water next to the Elodea tube, it will work as heat absorber.
d. Place a lamp of 150 watt next to the beaker. The plant tube, the beaker and the lamp should be as close as possible to each …show more content…

White light allowed the plant Elodea to go through photosynthesis in a faster rate than in green light. When the water was tinted green it reduced the range of spectrums that the pigments could absorb and reflect, therefor less energy was produced.
When covered in aluminum foil, the elodea in the tube did not photosynthesize because the energy from light is necessary in order for the process of photosynthesis to happen.
. The experiment could be processed in a different matter with different water color such as orange, blue, yellow and red; in order to show which colors among the range of the rainbow colors allows more photosynthesis in a plant. Photosynthesis should be equal to the green water one, with slight differences on rate of photosynthesis and time it takes for it to
