    Student 1 Photosynthesis is a process in which carbohydrates are formed from carbon dioxide and hydrogen and in this light act as an energy source. End result is also oxygen and some byproducts. It is mainly done by plants not by animals. In photosynthesis plant uses the light taken from the sun for the conversion of carbon dioxide and water to glucose and oxygen. It converts the carbon dioxide taken from the atmosphere to oxygen whereas cellular respiration is opposite to that of photosynthesis. Human

    Introduction: Photosynthesis is the process where plants transform light energy usually from sunlight into chemical energy and its balanced equation is 6CO2 + 6H2O –light energy----> C6H12O6 + 6O2 (Elsevier B.V.,LiveScience). Photosynthesis has major byproducts including water, glucose and starch(which is produced in the plant), and last but not least; oxygen. There are numerous amounts of plants all around the world producing CO2 necessary for human survival. However, the photosynthesis cycle is not

    Without carbon dioxide plants cannot photosynthesize. Through reading various books and web pages it was made clear that carbon dioxide is definitely one of the raw materials needed for photosynthesis, but I wanted to see whether this is actually true and if carbon dioxide is taken away completely will the plant photosynthesize at all? By taking a two plants of the exact same species, de-starching them both followed by putting plant one in conditions where carbon dioxide is taken away completely

    Experiment to Show the Rate of Photosynthesis Aim: Experiment to show the rate of photosynthesis when pondweed is under different life intensities. Prediction: I predict that the closer the light is to the pondweed the (or the higher the light intensity) the more oxygen will be produced until a certain point where the temperature or carbon dioxide levels will be the limiting factor. The further away the light, the slower the oxygen bubbles will be produced so the less light the less photosynthesis

In the results the pattern is that when the light intensity is higher the readings are generally higher. On the graph the less the light intensity the lower the gradient of the curve. the equation for the photosynthesis process is; CO2 + 2H2O + Light Energy ========>

    An Experiment to Investigate the Effect of Light Intensity on the Rate of Photosynthesis Introduction Photosynthetic takes place in the chloroplasts of green plant cells; it can produce simple sugars using carbon dioxide and water causing the release of sugar and oxygen. The chemical equation of photosynthesis is: [IMAGE]6CO2 + 6H20 C6 H12 O6 + 6O2 it has been proven many times that plants need light to be able to photosynthesize , so you can say that without light the plant would

    An Experiment to Show the Relation Between Light Intensity and Photosynthesis Introduction Photosynthesis takes places in the leaves of plants, mostly in the palisade layer of the leaf. Photosynthesis is the plants way of creating energy for itself(sugar), for growth, repair, storage and energy production. The test will be to find out the relationship between light intensity (voltage) and the rate of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is: Carbon dioxide + water + sunlight ---> oxygen

    Photosynthesis is one of the most important biological processes in life. In a very broad view, it takes carbon dioxide and converts it to oxygen to release in the environment. Photosynthesis goes through two stages: photochemical and biochemical. Photochemical reactions are dependent on light and capture energy. The objective of the experiment is to observe the rate of photochemical reactions with different light intensities and light wavelengths. In order to conduct this experiment, we determined

Chlorophyll (green coloured pigment in leaves) absorbs light and changes it into chemical energy, which is used to power all the chemical reactions that go on in a plant cell. This is called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process of producing glucose from sunlight

    Temperature on the Rate of Photosynthesis Aim The aim of my experiment is to determine whether intensity of light and temperature would affect the rate of photosynthesis in a plant. To do this, I will place a piece of pondweed in varying light intensities and temperatures, and observe the amount of oxygen being given off. I am using pondweed because of its unusual quality of giving off bubbles of gas from a cut end, when placed in water. Introduction Photosynthesis occurs only in the presence

    Introduction Photosynthesis is a process used every day by plants, algae, and some bacteria to harness light energy and turn it into chemical energy. Chloroplasts play a large role in the process, chloroplasts are organelles much like mitochondria that contain a double membrane and third inner membrane called the thylakoid membrane. It is on the thylakoid membrane where the process takes place. Chloroplasts contain their own DNA which is a major contributor to the stability of this organelle. Without
