Recommended: Photosynthesis investigation

The experiment done in the lab supports the law of Conservation of Mass because we used the reactants and simply rearranged them to create the products without adding or removing anything. For the experiment we used candy and marshmallows. The green candy symbolized carbon atoms, the red ones hydrogen atoms, and the marshmallows represented oxygen atoms; we also used toothpicks which illustrated bonds keeping them all together. The chemical reaction for photosynthesis is the product of six carbon dioxide plus six water atoms is glucose (sugar) plus oxygen. We started by making the food into the reactants, the ingredients for the chemical reaction; six green candy drops and twelve marshmallows plus twelve red candy drops and six marshmallows.

    The Gravimetric Stoichiometry lab was a two-week lab in which we tested one of the fundamental laws of chemistry; the Law of Conservation of Mass. The law states that in chemical reactions, when you start with a set amount of reactant, the product should theoretically have the same mass. This can be hard sometimes because in certain reactions, gases are released and it’s hard to measure the mass of a gas. Some common gases released in chemical reactions include hydrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen and water vapor.

    The energy inside molecules is called chemical energy, so light energy is converted into chemical energy by the chlorophyll. I believe that the results are reliable enough to support the hypothesis, because the graph of results proves the hypothesis because the gradient of the curve increases with the increase of the light intensity. I think that the method used is reliable enough to support the prediction. Overall, both graphs and my results support my predictions fully. My idea that the rate of photosynthesis would increase with light intensity was comprehensively backed up by my results.

  • Photosynthesis: The Importance Of Photosynthesis

    What is Photosynthesis exactly? Well the simplified version that we’ve all been told when we’re young is that it is something that plants do that changes carbon dioxide into oxygen so we can breath. While partially true there is still so much that is missing. Photosynthesis is the process of plants absorbing light energy from the sun into those chloroplasts and converting it into chemical energy, or sugar. Plants use the energy from the sunlight they absorb to convert the carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil into glucose (sugar) and H2O (oxygen). Most of the cool stuff with the chloroplasts happens mainly in the leaves of plants. Simply put the carbon dioxide that the plants need for the chemical reaction are absorbed by stomata in the

    An Experiment to Investigate the Effect of Light Intensity on the Rate of Photosynthesis. Introduction Photosynthetics take 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 ] 6CO 2 + 6H20 C 6 H12 O 6 + 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 neither photosynthesize nor survive.

  • The Process Of Photosynthesis And The Process Of Photosynthesis

    1088 Words  | 3 Pages

    Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and other organisms such as photosynthetic bacteria, algae and protists make their food. All organisms that undergo photosynthesis can be called photoautotrophs. In the food making process, the organism uses sunlight energy trapped by leaves and converts it into chemical energy. This chemical energy is then utilised as a drive force for the synthesis of organic products such as glucose. ¹The best known form of photosynthesis is the one carried out by higher plants and algae, as well as by cyanobacteria and their relatives, which are responsible for a major part of photosynthesis in oceans, Wim Vermaas 1998. The photosynthetic process can be written in a simple equation; 6H2O + energy (eˉ) 6CO2 -> C6H12O6+ 6O2. In anoxygenic photosynthesis however, light energy is used by other types of bacteria but in their case O is not a product. At a molecular level, these organisms use CO2 and H2O along with the energy obtained from the sun to undergo a series of complex reactions before they arrive at the end product of the desired carbohydrate.

  • Photosynthesis: An Experiment On The Process Of Photosynthesis

    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 inhales oxygen which is produced by those plants and exhale carbon dioxide. In cellular respiration a compound is formed which is known as ATP. It is basically a process in which breaking of nutrients occur to provide humans with energy so that

  • Thermodynamics

    Thermodynamics is the branch of science concerned with the nature of heat and its conversion to any form of energy. In thermodynamics, both the thermodynamic system and its environment are considered. A thermodynamic system, in general, is defined by its volume, pressure, temperature, and chemical make-up. In general, the environment will contain heat sources with unlimited heat capacity allowing it to give and receive heat without changing its temperature. Whenever the conditions change, the thermodynamic system will respond by changing its state; the temperature, volume, pressure, or chemical make-up will adjust accordingly in order to reach its original state of equilibrium. There are three laws of thermodynamics in which the changing system can follow in order to return to equilibrium.
