Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and other organisms create energy. Light energy is converted into chemical energy that can be stored and used. CO2, water and light are converted into glucose and oxygen. The general chemical formula for this is, CO2 + H2O + light energy → Glucose + O2. In this experiment, we will test the relationship between the rate of photosynthesis and the water consumed by the plant; we will be testing tap water–for a control, sugar water and salt water. If we…

The Effect of Citric Acid on Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Jacqueline Martinez, Shayla Sanders, Yewande Ifanse, Dyamante Wigenton, Rachelle Hutchinson Biology 1441_045; TA Manish, October 14, 2014 Citric Acid originates from lemons or other fruits in which it is sour in taste. It is said that photosynthesis consumes CO2 when aerobic respiration also known as cellular respiration produces it. Also it states that whenever more carbon dioxide is produced the more acidic the water…

The Effect of the Light Source Distance on the Photosynthesis Rate of Spinach Leaves Introduction: We studied the reaction rate of photosynthesis of spinach leaves from various distances from the light source. Our experiment followed the Biology 152 Photosynthesis Lab. We varied the distance from the leaves and the light source. Our distances we tested were 0, 12, and 24 inches from the light source. This experiment is important in the real world in green houses. The goal is to have plants…

assignment I am going to identify the factors which can limit the rate of photosynthesis. There are three main limiting factors to identify these are: •Light intensity •Carbon dioxide concentration •Temperature The photosynthesis process uses more than one factor to achieve maximum capability. " Its rate is limited by the factor which is closest to it minimum value" Pass My Exams. Factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis. Available:…

Question: Does the intensity of light affect the plant’s photosynthesis? Background information: There are three main elements which has a huge impact on the plant’s photosynthesis: light, temperature, and carbon dioxide.(Plant and Light) However, this lab is focused on how the intensity of light affect the plant’s photosynthesis in order to see how the intensity of light affect the plant’s photosynthesis, specifically Elodea plants. Photosynthesis is a process which happens in all plants and…

There are key differences between cellular respiration and photosynthesis that can help one learn about each process on a deeper level. Cellular respiration’s goal is to break down certain food molecules like sugars, fats, and carbohydrates and convert it to ATP or energy for the cell to use. For photosynthesis, its purpose is to obtain solar energy and convert that energy into chemical energy and glucose for food and an energy storage. Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria, which is…

Photosynthesis is the process where radiant energy of the sun is converted into energy of organic molecules. This process is responsible for present life on Earth because it provides food for all living things. Photosynthesis is only found in certain photosynthetic organisms; a few bacteria and plants. Plants produce oxygen as a “waste product” when they produce energy using light energy, water, and CO2. The equation for photosynthesis is “CO2+H2O+Energy--> (CH2O)n+O2, however, if this…

Photosynthesis is a plant’s mechanism of converting sunlight and CO2 into energy in the form of organic material (Hohmann-Marriott and Blankenship 2011). Plant respiration is the process of using energy and oxygen to produce CO2 (Gonzalez-Meler et al. 2004). Almost all plants reproduce and respire, therefore it is important to know what factors could affect the rate of photosynthesis and respiration to better understand how plants function. Some research has shown that elevated CO2…

reactions to occur a supply of energy is needed. The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but transfers from one state to another. Photosynthesis and Respiration, are two processes involved in the production of energy. These processes will now be examined. Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy from the sun to chemical energy and storing it in the bonds of sugar. The only organisms that contain the pigment chlorophyll can…

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…
