The Effect of Wavelength on Photosynthesis Rate Aim: To investigate how different wavelength (colors) of light affect the photosynthetic rate. I will use a pant that is a pond weed called elodea. I will measure the rate of photosynthesis by measuring the amount of o2 given off in bubbles per minuet from the elodea. I will do this by placing the Elodea in a test tube with sodium hydrogen carbonate then I will vary the light wavelength (color) using colored filters and count the number
Investigating the Link Between Wavelength of Light and Rate of Photosynthesis PROBLEM ======= I have been asked to investigate the link between wavelength of light and rate of photosynthesis. HYPOTHESIS ========== I predict that the order of best absorption in a plat to produce more bubbles will be blue, yellow, orange, red and finally green. I predict this because blue has the shortest wavelength which produces the most energy and there is
Rate of Photosynthesis and How It Varies There are several things which need to be taken into account which can cause the rate of photosynthesis to change. A) sunlight concentration B) temperature C) chlorophyll concentration D) carbon dioxide availability Effects of the variables and there concentrations: The amount of sunlight will decide the rate of photosynthesis as there will be a an increased rate of photosynthesis due to the increased availability of photons of light
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 will
Rate of Photosynthesis in Pond-Weed Plan The aim of this activity is to investigate one of the factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis in pond-weed. I am trying to find out if the distance of the pond-weed from a lamp will change the rate of photosynthesis. I will measure the rate of photosynthesis by counting the number of bubbles that are released by the stem of the pond-weed when the lamp is shone on it from different distances. What I think will happen is as the pond weed
Speeding up the Rate of Photosynthesis Outline: The aim of my experiment is to find a factor that will speed up the rate of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis need light to work, so light therefore should speed up the rate of photosynthesis. I will do an experiment to see if this works. I will place a piece of cut pondweed into a beaker containing water and sodium hydrogen carbonate. A lamp will be shined on to the pondweed and the amount of bubbles released from the plant will be counted
Biology Investigation Problem: How does light affect the rate of Photosynthesis? The Plan In my experiment I am going to see how light affects the rate of photosynthesis. To do this experiment I am going to set up the apparatus as shown in figure 1. The apparatus I am going to use are the following: - 1 Tripod 1 300ml Beaker 1 Boiling Tube 1 Clamp Stand 1Clamp 1 Boss 1 Ring Binder 1 Lamp 1 1 Metre Ruler 1 Thermometer 1 Stop Clock To do the experiment I will set up the apparatus first. I will
Investigating Factors that Affect the Rate of Photosynthesis in Elodea Aim: To find out which factors affect the rate of photosynthesis in Elodea. Variables: The variables that might affect the rate of photosynthesis in this experiment are: Temperature: When the temperature rises so does the rate of photosynthesis; this is because as the temperature around the plant rises the enzymes controlling photosynthesis inside the chloroplasts heat up and start moving around faster, the fast
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
Relationship Between Light Intensity and the Rate of Photosynthesis Investigate the relationship between light intensity and the rate of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is important because animals eat food, as it is a source of energy. All living things need a constant supply of energy if they are to grow, reproduce or move. Plants do not eat food but they do have some in the form of starch in their leaves. The symbol equation for photosynthesis is: 6 CO2+6 H2O-light C6 H12 06+6 02.
The Effect of Light Intensity on the Rate of Photosynthesis in an Aquatic Plant Introduction The input variable I will be investigating is light, as light is just one of the 4 factors required in the green-plant process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which green-plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, water & chlorophyll to produce their own food source. This process is also affected by the temperature surrounding the plant (the species of plant we experimented with
Investigating the Effects of Sodium Concentrations Have on the Rate of Photosynthesis Aim: To investigate the effects that different concentrations of sodium hydrogen carbonate on the rate of photosynthesis. Plan: Background Research ------------------- Photosynthesis Equation: Light energy & chlorophyll [IMAGE]6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 ================================ Factors ======= The resistance of a wire depends on certain factors. Some of these variables
Biology Coursework ¡V Does The Light Intensity Affect the Rate of Photosynthesis The Investigation In this experiment I will investigate the affect in which the light intensity will have on a plants photosynthesis process. This will be done by measuring the bubbles of oxygen and having a bulb for the light intensity variable. Variables The input variable which will be used in this investigation will be the light intensity (this will be a 100Watt bulb being moved closer and further away from the
An Investigation into the Effect of Light Intensity on the Rate of Photosynthesis on a Piece of Elodea Plan: Method: 1) First I will put some water into a boiling tube and add 5 spatulas of Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate. I will add 5 spatulas of Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate as it reacts with water and forms carbon dioxide; also I have so much so that I have carbon dioxide in excess. 2) Then I will cut off 5cm of elodea and place it into the boiling tube. 3) Thirdly I will place the boiling
The Effect of Light Intensity on the Rate of Oxygen Production in a Plant While Photosynthesis is Taking Place Hypothesis: I predict that as the intensity of light is increased, so would the photosynthesis. Furthermore, I predict that if the light intensity increases, the rate of photosynthesis will increase at a proportional rate and more oxygen will be produced and therefore the oxygen levels will increase. However, the lower the light intensity, less oxygen will be produced which would
called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process of producing glucose from sunlight, which takes place in the leaves. The 3 features of the leaves are: 1) They are thin and flat to provide big surface area. 2) Te palisade cells near the top of leaves are packed with chloroplasts. 3) Te Guard cell controls the movement of gases going in and out. The four things needed for photosynthesis are: Light energy, Chlorophyll, carbon dioxide and water. The rate of photosynthesis is affected
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 + carbohydrate
An Analysis and Evaluation of Data from Photosynthesis Experiments Graph analysis This is my analysis for the investigation in to the affect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis to the Canadian pondweed, elodea. 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 ========>
Investigating the Effect of Light Intensity on Photosynthesis in a Pondweed Aim: To investigate how the rate of photosynthesis changes at different light intensities, with a pondweed. Prediction: I predict that the oxygen bubbles will decrease when the lamp is further away from the measuring cylinder, because light intensity is a factor of photosynthesis. The plant may stop photosynthesising when the pondweed is at the furthest distance from the lamp (8cm). Without light, the plant
Investigating Photosynthesis in Canadian Pondweed Aim The aim of the investigation is find out what factors affect the rate of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis should not occur if one of the limiting factors is not present. Plan ==== The factors affecting photosynthesis are: Light - This will affect photosynthesis because it is one of the limiting factors. Without light photosynthesis can't take place as it is the energy source. Temperature
