Chapter 6, Problem 11TYK
Summary Introduction
To review:
The complexity of the trees increases as they develop from seeds to adult. Whether the development of the tree violates the second law of
Introduction:
The study of energy and its conversion to one form into another (transformation) is called thermodynamics. The term thermodynamics correlates between heat, work, energy, and temperature. There are three laws in thermodynamics: the first law of thermodynamics (law of conservation of energy), the second law of thermodynamics, and the third law of thermodynamics.

For photosynthesis lab in biology
1) This lab uses spinach leaves. Name another plant that would make an interesting comparison to spinach. Explain why you think this leaf would provide an interesting comparison
2) The lights used in this experiment are 60W. What would you predict the effect of having stronger or weaker wattage bulbs would be on your results? Explain.
3)This lab uses 0.2% sodium bicarbonate. What would you predict the effect of raising or lowering the percentage would be on your results? Explain.
4)What are TWO other things that might be manipulated in an experiment using this same protocol other than the type of leaf, percent sodium bicarbonate, and wattage of light bulb?
5) What key thing do you have to look for on the graph to know for certain that your treatment has caused a significant effect?
How would you design an experiment to test the following hypothesis:
" The optimal temperature for photosynthesis in spinach leaves is 20 degrees Celsius?"
In this experiment, answer the following questions:
1. How do you measure the energy produced in this experiment?
2. Will you be able to perform the same results (flask A with germinated seeds temperature increases and flask B with boiled seeds temperature remain unchanged), assuming you will be using a regular glass flask? Why?
3. How come the (boiled seeds) control set up release energy as well? How come even if the boiled seeds here are considered dead they still release energy?
4. Is it possible of getting the reverse of the results. If yes, why?

Explain your answer.arrow_forwardAs energy passes from blue-absorbing chlorophylls down to red-absorbing chlorophylls, surprisingly, no energy passes from lower energy-absorbing pigments back to higher ones (in other words, the process is irreversible). Why might that be?arrow_forward

Comment on above statement by keeping in view the first law of thermodynamics.arrow_forwardIn 1941, biologists exposed photosynthesizing cells to water containing a heavy oxygen isotope, designated 180. The "labelled" isotope appears in the 02 gas released in photosynthesis, showing that the oxygen came from water. Where would the 180 have ended up if the researcher had used 180-labeled CO2 instead of H2O? A. ADP B. NADP+ C. Rubisco D. DP and NADP+ E. Glucosearrow_forwardHi please can I have the solution to the 4 question only. An explanation to the diagram will also be appreciated.arrow_forward
- Propose a hypothesis on how each of these variables affects the production of oxygen from a plant. 1. Increasing light intensity 2.Increasing CO2 levels 3.Increasing temperature 4.How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis?arrow_forwardTrue or False: Plant viruses like animal viruses also utilize the cell’s machines to create viral replicates. NADP and ATP are important products of the light reaction phase and are needed in the dark reaction phase. 3. The cyclical process of the dark reaction phase of photosynthesis produces glucose and can proceed without the photons from the sun.arrow_forwardCody is trying to explain to Sarah that one advantage enjoyed by plant cells is that they do not need to bring CO2 in from the environment for photosynthesis. He says, “They can simply grow by using the CO2 generated from cellular respiration”. How should Sarah respond? A. YES! This is a great example of thermodynamic equilibrium, or balance. B. YES! Since CO2 will move rapidly from mitochondria to the chloroplast. C. NO! To grow, the cell must fix more CO2 than it releases through respiration. D. NO! Most plant cells do not photosynthesize and respire at the same time.arrow_forward
- Experiments to address the day-night discrepancy in warming (see Pic5) indicate that climate change has inhibited plant growth in warm dry areas more than in cool wet areas. Explain this observation.arrow_forwardWhat is the relationship between light intensity and the rate of photosynthesis. Make a prediction about this relationship, and identify both independent and dependent variables in the prediction. What will be a suitable hypothesis predict answers for the following: A) what is the rate of germinating peas versus non-germinating peas. B) what is the effect of temperature on germinating peas?arrow_forwardEcologists have discovered that the seeds of many plants that grow in forests cannot germinate unless they have been exposed to fire. Design an experiment to test whether a particular plant has seeds with this requirement. Include your hypothesis statement groups, and an outline of your procedure.arrow_forward
