Leaf

environment overall to be different than that of a forest that is not impacted specifically from humans. I sat in the grass near the picnic tables and an oak tree, close enough to where I could observe ants under the picnic tables, bees pollinating, and a leaf that had a hole from where it had been eaten. I moved from this spot to observe a dogwood tree and how it differed from the oak during my observation process. There were a variety of trees in the park from their different sizes, shapes,…

Photosynthesis and Leaf Structure Experiment Introduction The primary function of leaves is to conduct photosynthesis, a biochemical process in which plants, as well as a variety of bacteria and protists produce food from sunlight (EEB, 2016). Photosynthesis requires the acquisition light, water, and carbon dioxide and the removal of oxygen. Sodium bicarbonate is added as the bicarbonate ion acts as a carbon source for photosynthesis. Light independent reactions are catalyzed through the power…

and the Effect That pH Has on It Abstract - The purpose of this experiment was to determine what variables affect the rate of photosynthesis. The variable tested was the pH level of the “environment” and this was tested using leaf discs from a plant. By testing the leaf discs in different pH levels of two, four, six, eight, and ten, it was found that the rate of photosynthesis was at its highest in a pH of six. It was also found that the rate of photosynthesis was at its second highest at a…

The reason leaves often change colors when the weather gets colder, before dropping off of trees is because leaves are colored by pigments. In autumn, when it starts to get cold, the leaves start to change their pigment making other colors. Heavy wind and rain can cause leaves to fall off of trees before they are already colored. The reason the fall solo is because the chlorophyll in the leaves break down and the green color in the leaves disappears do to the weather changing. Chlorophyll is…

The goals of this study was to find interactions between the goldenrods that had the gall and the ones that where besides them but without the gall. There were 15 pairs and each pair where cut from the bottom and all the fifteen pairs where find in the same area and this could cause less variation in the data. When comparing the means of the goldenrods flowers the ones that had the gall weighs more than the ones without the gall and this could been since there are insects parasitizing the gall…
