PPT-1 Photosynthesis

Energy amp Life 2 Photosynthesis Plants use the Energy of sunlight to convert Water H 2 0 and Carbon Dioxide CO 2 into Oxygen O 2 and High Energy Carbohydrates sugars eg Glucose amp Starches.

OBJECTIVES: 8.1. Explain where plants get the energy they need to produce food.. Describe the role of ATP (adenosine . triphosphate. ) in cellular activities.. 2. Energy is the ability to do work.. Leaf Disc Assay. F Block. Photosynthesis Lab. . An Educational Slide Created By Squade. . (Andy, Alex, Colin, Jordyn). Summary of Findings . In this lab, the effects of plant photosynthesis were investigated by comparing the rates of photosynthesis of two plants, spinach and kale. The rate of photosynthesis was measured the number of leaf cutouts on the surface per minute. These floating leaf cutouts show that oxygen, a product of photosynthesis is produced. We found that the rate of photosynthesis for the spinach leaves was 8.6 cutouts per minutes, 1.4 less than that of the kale leaves (10 cutouts per minute.) This difference could be a result the different amounts of light absorbing chlorophyll present in each leaf, or a difference in vascular tissue sizes, which may affect the plant’s ability to absorb water for photosynthesis..
