PPT-Photosynthesis Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis a process used by plants and other autotrophs to convert the light energy captured from the sun into chemical energy that can be used to fuel the organisms activities It is the way plants make food . Lab. 5: Photosynthesis. Lab. 5: Photosynthesis. Leaves float in water due to presence of air (air spaces) in the leaf. . How does one get them to sink?. Lab. 5: Photosynthesis. Put leaf discs under vacuum . Autotrophs. :. Organisms that are capable of producing/creating their own food. Photoautotrophs. – sunlight drives the energy production process. Chemoautotrophs. – can extract energy from an inorganic substance. Bryanna Wolfe. ECE 2320. October 2012. Start Here. Objective:. . When you get hungry you might decide to raid the cookie jar or ask your mom to make you a sandwich. You do this because humans and animals get energy from the foods they eat. By . Ms. Megan Black. Photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process of making food by plants. The essential ingredients in making this food are sunlight, the chlorophyll that is present in green plants, water and carbon dioxide in the air. . Photosynthesis. OB48. Describe, using a word equation, how plants make their own food through photosynthesis.  . OB49. Show that starch is produced by a photosynthesising plant.  . OB50.

(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..
