Biology Standard Level : Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis Lab 8 Section 022 Kaileen Savage Tanushree Majumber Introduction “Photosynthesis is a biochemical process for building carbohydrates using energy from sunlight and carbon dioxide taken from the air”, (Morris, J. (2016) Biology How Life Works. New York, NY.). It is a system that uses plants and specific algae to synthesize molecules from both water and carbon dioxide. The oxygen we breathe and the food we eat is fueled by photosynthesis because it is an energy source

The effect of different coloured lights on the rate of Photosynthesis Objective: To find out which colour of light provides the best consequences for the production of oxygen/ the rate of photosynthesis Background: In photosynthesis, there are two main parts, including light dependent and light-independent reactions. Plants use the energy from light for producing sugar, which is being converted into ATP by cellular respiration. They also are the only organisms that produce oxygen along with glucose

The study of biology has revolutionized and changed continuously throughout history. Each generation proving the last one wrong and going farther in depth about the study of living or once living life. The Nazareth Biology department has drastically changed my outlook on the many aspects of this science. It has made me open my eyes to look at life on a cellular level as well as to except that we (humans) are not the standard for life. Not only has it changed my prospective but it has also changed

Brief Overview: Starting off this lesson, we will ask the students what they had for dinner the night before. We will write down some of the food

ecosystems and habitats that are here on earth. Within each habitat, there is a great diversity of the species of plants and animals that live there. At a young age, children become curious about how all of these things occur. The Next Generation Science Standards have compiled this information into three performance expectations for second graders. The first expectation, 2-LS2-1, is that they must “Plan and conduct an investigation to determine if plants need sunlight and water to grow” (NGSS). The second

Effect on photosynthesis in Elodea densa when limiting NaHCO3 Enbo Yu (Principal Author), 1, Francis (Bench-mate 1), 1 Laura (Bench-mate 2), 1 1Dept. of Biological Sciences, University of Toronto Scarborough, Toronto, Canada UTSC BIOA01 Lab PRA01, BENCH3: PRA01 TA: Fielding Montgomery ________________________________________ Abstract: As CO2 levels increase in the atmosphere, more is dissolving into the water and affecting aquatic plants and their photosynthesis rates. The study will focus on

use a process called photosynthesis to covert energy from the sun into energy they can use for their activities. The plant’s chloroplasts, along with water, carbon dioxide, and light are the essential elements required for photosynthesis to take place. The “photo” part of photosynthesis is in reference to the fact that the process requires light. The simplest form of the photosynthesis equation is: H2O + CO2 ----light----> (CH2O)N + O2 As shown in the equation, photosynthesis produces carbohydrates

FLR REPORT DRAFT Abstract: Photosynthesis is a vital process that requires to utilize energy for plants. This experiment was done to evaluate the effects of carbon availability on photosynthetic activity. The aquatic plant Elodea densa was placed into sodium bicarbonate solutions of five concentrations ranging from 0.1% to 1.0%, in five independent trials (excluding the negative control treatment of water). The temperature and light intensity was constant. The results indicated a directly proportional
