Photosynthesis 1. Would you illuminate your house plants with a green light bulb? Why or why not? It would not be a wise choice to put a plant under a green light bulb. The reason for this is that due to the fact that the leaves are green they reflect green light. This shining green light onto the flowers will cause photosynthesis to stop. Since the light is being reflect d, the cells do not get any light.
With out light they cannot carry out the everyday of photosynthesis. If the choice was mine, I would place them into violet light, because almost none of it would be reflected. 2. Explain the statement: ‘Without autotrophic organisms, heterotrophic life would cease to exist.’ Without autotrophic organisms heterotrophic organisms would not be able to survive for two a sic reasons. One is the fact that autotrophic organisms create most of the oxygen that heterotroph’s breath. Without them, heterotroph’s which need oxygen to survive would not live very long.
The second reason is that autotrophs are the lowest food on the food chart. Without them many heterotroph would die from starvation. 3. Why did you put your syringes containing leaf material in the dark prior to illumination? The reason this was done was to make sure as little oxygen as possible was contained in the leaf material. This co used the experiment to run properly. If the leaf material was not placed in the dark, the dark reaction would not have occurred using up all the oxygen.
The Essay on Light Green Poem Line Stanza
After reading 'My Lover in White,' for the first time, I thought of a poem written by Shakespeare that seemed to be in some ways similar in content. The mention of the fair maidens outside the gate and the poet's observation that his love is not with the rest reminds me of Shakespeare's Sonnet C XXX. The poem is about the poets love of a woman that is not the most beautiful in comparison to most ...
If there was still oxygen in the leaf material, the data collected would have been off. The reason for this is that the leaves would have risen to the top of the liq iud quicker, because they would not have had to make the total amount of oxygen. 4. State you hypothesis for the directed experiment. The leaves in the sodium bicarbonate will rise to the top of the syringes faster than the ones in the distilled water will. 5.
Explain the differences in results between those disks in dH 2 O and NaHCO 3. The difference is that the NaHCO 3 has more oxygen to offer and reacts quicker than dH 2 O. 6. State your hypothesis for step 11.
If the concentration of NaHCO 3 is raised from. 5% ot 3% then the rate of photosynthesis will increase as well.
