Title: Light intensity on chloroplast, in Spinacia oleracea, in creating high energy electrons which reduce DCPIP identifying how luminosity effects photosynthesis..
Abstract: Chloroplast were observed to question if high energy electrons are formed and how light intensity affects for photosynthesis. DCPIP (2,6- dichorophenol-indophenol) liberates high energy electrons, from the electron transport chain, that reduce DCPIP from blue (oxidized form) to clear (reduced form). In addition, chloroplasts were exposed to different levels of light intensity to indicate how intensity levels are necessary for photosynthesis. Expecting DCPIP to get reduced quicker in chloroplast exposed to higher luminosity levels and slower or not at all with lower luminosity levels; DCPIP is expected to stay in its oxidized state when exposed to low levels of light and is expected to get reduced and turn clear when exposed to higher levels of light.
Introduction: Plants are able to utilize a broad spectrum of light that can be used by chlorophyll within them to do something biologically useful. Moreover, they use the energy from light to manufacturer the foundation molecules for the food that we eat and as well the O2 we breathe. (2) It is deeply imperative to gain an understanding about how light is used to produce energy for themselves and for us.
How does the intensity of light chloroplast are exposed to effect their ability to photosynthesis in producing high energy
