Question
Chapter 8, Problem 14TYK
Summary Introduction
To review:
A molecule that has to be provided to a plant to make glucose in the dark.
Introduction:
Green plants contain chlorophyll pigments that help them to synthesize their own food. These plants are called autotrophs. Photosynthesis takes place in the leaves of the plant that contain chlorophyll pigments to absorb light energy and convert them to chemical energy.

Students are preforming an experiment to study the role of light in photosynthesis. They place an Elodea plant into a large test tube with water and assemble a volumeter using a cork and calibrated glass tubing. Then, the apparatus is placed near a lamp. Soon after, the water level in the tubing begins to move upward. Why does the edge of the water move upward?
State that during photosynthesis green plants produce food in the form of glucose. Most of the glucose is converted to starch and stored in the leaves and other parts of the plants, such as the stem and roots?
what is starch?
what are the uses of starch on the body?
provide a conclusion please
Use the data to create a graph in Excel. It should be a scatter plot with a line connecting each point. Looking at the graph:
a/ Which wavelengths absorbed most by spinach and likely used for photosynthesis?
b/ Which wavelengths are absorbed least?
