Spinach

Many plants, such as Spinacia oleracea (Spinach) uses a process called Photosynthesis and Respiration to produce glucose and oxygen (O2). During photosynthesis, light, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are required to begin the process. Light is absorbed by the plant’s chlorophyll, while CO2 is absorbed through the stomata and H2O is absorbed by the cells of the root hairs. The equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O  C6H12O6 (Glucose). Plants are able to absorb all colors of the visible…

If 5 cuvettes containing spinach/DPIP solution are covered with different cups so that they absorb light of different wavelengths, then the cuvette with no filter will transmit the most orange light because it has been exposed to all white light and has the fastest rate of photosynthesis, followed by cuvettes under red cups, blue cups, green cups, and finally under the opaque cup because it has been exposed to no white light and has the slowest rate of photosynthesis. Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, which…

lived in LA the only place where people care more about their weight than their kids.

Plants release oxygen into the atmosphere when they photosynthesize. You might be wondering where the oxygen comes from, well it comes from the water in the cells of the leaves.
