Paragraph 1 With a p- value of 0.059229 between our red light treatment and our green light treatment, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and reject our alternative hypothesis because the value was higher than 0.05. Our alternative hypothesis was that red light would be more effective than green light on the rate of photosynthesis and our null hypothesis was that the color of light would not affect the rate of photosynthesis. Without enough evidence to support the alternative hypothesis, we…
Cellular respiration is the set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products (Wikipedia, n.d.). Metabolism affects the processing of a pear as it moved through the process of cellular respiration. Furthermore, there are three steps in the cellular respiration process. The three-stage process consists of glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and the electron…
the ground. There are three main nutrients that benefit the plant: nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. Nitrogen helps plants grow, phosphorous protects against plant disease, and potassium prevents plant stresses. Cells in the leaves contain chloroplasts which captures energy from sunlight. Through a chemical reaction, sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide are combined to produce glucose, a sugar that provides most of the energy that plants use. A byproduct of this process is oxygen, which is…
The goal of the experiment was to determine how the rate of photosynthesis responded to the amount of light wattage the plant was exposed to. My groups hypothesis was that an increase in light wattage would cause an increase in the rate of photosynthesis. The independent variable of this experiment was the amount of light wattage the spinach chards were exposed to. The dependent variable of this experiment, or the variable that changed in response to the independent variable, was the rate of…
” defining it as: “the origin of organisms through the combination and unification of two or many beings entering into symbiosis.” The Encyclopedia Britannica defines endosymbiosis as a theory in which modern organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts are descended from bacteria which, at one time in their evolutionary…
The earth tilts possibly due to being hit by an asteroid billions of years ago causing it to tilt in the sun 's orbit. Therefore its axis that should be completely vertical top to bottom) tilts. The earth completes one turn daily therefore all the world will receive sunlight and will enjoy the changes of season because of this tilt. It has nothing to do with how close it is to the sun but because the axis is not straight. The axis stays tilted in the same direction as it orbits around the sun…
Microbes, which are knowns as microscopic organisms, can be found everywhere and have interactions with most of living things and non-livings things. Also, it causes either positive or negative impacts within these interactions. Certain types of microbes play a big role in all ecosystems on Earth, such as bacteria and fungi in order to not only maintain the life cycle on Earth but also helpful in human activities. Therefore, this essay is aiming to identify the role of these groups of microbes…
Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is the physico-chemical process by way of which plants, algae and photosynthetic bacteria consume light energy to drive the synthesis of organic compounds. In plants, algae and certain forms of bacteria, the photosynthetic process yields, the release of molecular oxygen and the elimination of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere that is used to produce carbohydrates (oxygenic photosynthesis). Further forms of bacteria use light energy to generate organic compounds…
specialised bateria and green plants use their chlorophyll to trap light energy and then use this energy to convert carbon dioxide and water to glucose and oxygen. The green colour in plants is from the chemical chlorophyll which is found in the chloroplasts in the cells of the plant. It is very concentrated in the leaves of the plants due to the surface of the leaf being flat which allows it to have a very big surface area to absorb light:…
Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration processes are thought of as completely opposite. They are completely opposite processes locked in a never-ending cycle. That cycle helps maintain the Earth's atmosphere to keep the planet inhabitable by making the air breathable. The processes both have many differences between them, but they also have many similarities. They cause the perfect balance that's essential to life, as we know it. The processes help…
