Photosynthesis Essay

The purpose of this experiment is to find out which type of water grows a plant the fastest. From this experiment, I will learn which type of water grows a plant the best and fastest. My hypothesis is that Plant ‘B’,watered with the sugar water, will grow the fastest. The materials used in my experiment were: (6) Styrofoam Cups , (3) Cups of Water, (3) Flowers (same kind), (2)TBSP. Sugar, (2)TBSP. Salt, and (1)Permanent Marker. My procedures are (1) Gather materials, (2) I Labeled each cup “A”,…

fuels started millions of years ago before the dinosaurs first inhabited the Earth and formed from prehistoric plants and animals hundreds of million years ago. All the energy in oil, gas, and coal originally came from the sun, captured through photosynthesis (Trefil and Hazen 2013, p.53). Over time, rock, sand, and sediment concealed the organic matter and after some years it established huge quantities of fuels. These under the surface resources are still the main fuel source for heating,…

have large sinuses because intense sunlight can penetrate the leaf to a greater depth efficiently. b. The leaves on the interior portion of a tree can still be efficient in conducting photosynthesis because they have a relatively large surface area. Interior leaves can also be efficient in conducting photosynthesis if permitted reasonable light that comes through the sinuses of outer leaves. c. Based on column G, although the difference between the ratio of shade leaves and sun…

The effect of NaCl treatment on growth and development of Arabidopsis thaliana Introduction Arabidopsis thaliana is a small flowering plant native to Europe and Asia. It is part of the mustard (Brassicaceae) family and is quite common and widespread, found in habitats such as rocky ground, sand dunes and disturbed habitats (e.g. weed gardens and waste ground). It has a 6 week generation time. On the first week two cotyledons emerge from the seed and more leaves develop up until the fourth to…

Have you ever wondered what fresh air smells like? Researchers say certain types of chemicals such as black carbon are affecting child birth. Black Carbon becomes a vast problem in the urban areas, usually near motorways, where vehicles are constantly present. Governments are now taking this seriously, due to the growing population. Population growth means more cars, leading to greater car emissions. Also, putting into consideration, the average passenger car emits 4.75 metric tons of carbon…

Animal behavior, by definition, is the behavior within all the living animals. However, what is exactly called behavior? Does each individual animal possess unique behavior regard any stimuli? Do all the animals born with the unique behaviors? All the curiosities trigger the study of behaviors, which are known as ethology. Behavior is the action that carried out by animals in response of environmental stimulus. Ethologists group all the behaviors into two categories: learned behaviors, are those…

If one flower is placed in tap water, the second in the water mixed with splenda sugar and the third one in sea salt then the flower that was placed in water with splenda sugar will last the longest fresh and alive because due to the process of photosynthesis which explains that a plant needs nutrients in order to stay alive. The tools I will need are 3 roses, 2 spoonfuls of splenda sugar, 2 spoonfuls of sea salt, water, 3 cups, light, and 2 spoons. To collect my data I will use a notebook…

because they absorb vast amounts of carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and at the same time release oxygen into the atmosphere. 5. They also serve as water catchment areas. Causes of Deforestation Deforestation affects carbon and nitrogen cycles. The removal of plants in the rainforests disrupts the natural cycle of nutrients. The level of atmospheric carbon dioxide rises as less carbon dioxide is removed from the air by plants during photosynthesis. The recycling of nitrates and other ions is…

Joseph P. Valentine Prof. Paden Eng. 111 (4243) 11/3/16 Earth 2.0 We’ve spent a lot of time here on Earth; rather, all of it. We’ve grown so much: learning to walk, talk, make friends, build cities, start wars, and make bombs that can cleanse entire planets of life. This is our home. Sadly, we can’t live here forever. The concept of expanding our domain isn’t just about exotic Martian vacations or low-gravity sports. Earth may not be habitable forever. The ever-impending “consequences” of…

disrupts the life cycle of organisms that eat krill, which causes food shortages for higher predators (“Sea Temperature Rise”). Algae are also affected by warmer ocean temperatures because they cannot complete photosynthesis if the water is too warm. They share the food they make from photosynthesis with corals, and in the end corals lose their food sources and become weak (“What is Happening in the Ocean?”). Many types of plankton are affected by warmer oceans, and researchers found that when…
