Investigating the light factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis in Elodea Fatima Hussien Sara House, Lesha Liles, Abigail Saucedo, Melrina Stemn Biology 1441_Sec 017, Monika Pradhan; October 6, 2015 All plants rely on photosynthesis, therefore, we examined the rate at which a submerged plant such as elodea photosynthesized, with different light factors. To do this, the elodea must be completely be submerged in deionized water, later place the two plants under artificial light and…

PURPOSE To determine how germination and temperature of environment effect respiration rate of seeds. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Cellular Respiration: Is the controlled release of energy from organic compounds in cells to form ATP. Sugar + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy (ATP). In eukaryotic organisms, respiration occurs to maximize ATP production; this is contrary to anaerobic respiration, which occurs during the absence of a ready supply of oxygen (mostly in prokaryotic organisms).…

Fig.4.9. The biocellulose production and sugar consumption affected by dibasic sodium phosphate concentrations, incubation period in the steepest ascent experiment 4.6. Production of biocellulose by immobilized G. xylinus cells The aim of the present part of work was to study the influence of immobilization on the production of extracellular biocellulose by G. xylinus. The optimized medium used throughout this expermint was composed of (g/l): reducing sugar, 30; yeast extract, 7; peptone, 7;…

Structure of Glucose Introduction to Glucose: Glucose, a rich source of energy for living organisms, is produced by the photosynthesis of water and carbon dioxide. Living organisms take in food and obtain energy by the chemical and mechanical breakdown of glucose. Glucose is a simplest carbohydrate, belongs to the monosaccharide category of sugars. More complex carbohydrates usually arise from the linked glucose units (Spencer et. al, 2010). Chemical composition of glucose: Being the simplest…

Photosynthesis is the method of when the green plants and some different life forms use daylight to provide foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants includes the green color chlorophyll and produces oxygen as a result (What is Photosynthesis, P.1). Plants also use photosynthesis to create sugar. The sugars fuel a plant's roots, stems, and leaves so the plant can grow. It attempts to preform photosynthesis with leaves absorbing the sun’s light and then make the sugars within…

3.1 Biogenesis of methane In anaerobic digestion there are four stages: hydrolysis, acidification, acetogenesis and methane production (Sagagi et al; 2009; Rai 2004). Different microorganisms play a significant role in each stage ofthe processes. Therefore, intervention and follow up in all the stages is essential for enhanced and optimum methane production. 3.1.1 Enzymatic hydrolysis Enzymatic hydrolysis is the process where the fats, starches and proteins…

A study using an O2 electrode to measure the amount of O2 produced or consumed over an amount of time with varying light intensities to determine the effect of light intensity, CO2 and diuron on the rate of photosynthesis of Spinacia oleracea. Introduction Photosynthesis is the process in which chloroplasts found in plants, algae and some bacteria are used to convert light energy to chemical food energy. (Reece, et al. 2012, p. 190)(Molecules, Genes & Cells Laboratory Manual 2016) .…

Respiration and Photosynthesis Respiration and photosynthesis are reactions that take place in the environment which complement each other, in the other case can be seen as a same reaction but happening in reverse of each other (Tang, 2005). In photosynthesis the ingredients/ requirement for it to place is water and carbon dioxide as they release oxygen and glucose as the products. Respiration to take place requires glucose and oxygen to yield carbon dioxide and water. Since the product of…

Fatty acids and oil are organic substances, which are composed of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. When carbon, oxygen and hydrogen are chemically combined with a carboxyl group, a long chain is formed, called as fatty acids. Alternatively, when fats react with water, they break into fatty acids and glycerin. Three chains of fatty acids when react with glycerol molecule, they combine to form triglycerides. Molecules of triglyceride are the basis of fats and oil. The difference in their chemical…

1. Did the carbon dioxide concentration in the classroom change as you monitored it during the Preliminary Activity? Why did it change (or not change)? Yes the carbon dioxide concentration in the classroom did change as we monitored it during the preliminary activity. It had dropped and become stagnant then dropped even lower before rising back to stagnant levels. This may be because there may have been a slight ventilation in the room at around 125 seconds. 2. What is the role of carbon…
