Light Intensity and the Rate of Photosynthesis By: Maxwell Wissman, Lela Cohen, Sophia Stevenson and Russell Leibovitz ABSTRACT: This experiment was done to answer and/or to find out if you change the light intensity on a healthy plant, then it will photosynthesize differently, because the photons will hit the leaves of the plant more or less, thus increasing or decreasing the photosynthetic rate. This would answer the question by seeing how many bubbles come up without any light and how many…

plants use to create their own food by converting water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen using light energy. The chemical equation for photosynthesis is 6 CO2 + 6 H2O → C6H12O6 + 6 O2. There are many things in the environment however that can help or hinder this process. In this report I will be explaining 3 structures in the leaf that allow it to carry out photosynthesis, and how light intensity can affect the rate of photosynthesis that can occur. The first structure that helps the…

The purpose of the study was to test the effect of various lighting conditions on the rate of photosynthesis. The prediction for this experiment was that if a plant receives more light, then it will have a higher rate of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process that converts carbon dioxide into sugars such as glucose using energy from the sun. It is basically how plants make their own food. In order to make this food plants need carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight. Plants obtain these…

Usually plants grow in natural sunlight, but do they grow the same in colored light? People always just put their plants outside, then leave them. Is there an effect on plants in the colored light, or is it just the same. Part of the plant is the chlorophyll, which is the part of that is responsible for the pigment or color found in the organism. It is responsible for the green color of plants, except in the fall where the pigment changes to red, yellow, or orange. This happens because the…

A ray of light travels in a straight line. This is true until it passes from one medium (eg. air) into another medium (eg. glass) of a different optical density. When this happens, the ray of light changes speed causing it to bend either towards or away from the normal which is an imaginary line at 90 to the interface between two mediums. This is called refraction. How much it bends depends on the refractive indices of the two mediums which is a ratio of the speed of light in one medium…

researchers funded by them. (Rispo, 2009) While insurance rates do not increase based on red light tickets, they do increase when there is an accident, so insurance companies benefit from red light cameras as well. Rispo interviewed professor and chair of health policy and management of University of South Florida College of Public Health who said, "The rigorous studies clearly show red-light cameras don't work, instead they increase crashes and injuries as drivers attempt…

great amount of light and can live in high drought area. These plants attracts butterflies, bloom fine violets and white and pink flowers. They are also .2 to 1 foot tall and spread about .75 to 1 foot long. The flowers bloom in almost every time of the year. To measure how darkness and limited light affects a light needing plant like the alyssums, an experiment was established. The question of this experiment is, what effect does the darkness have on a plant that requires a lot of light like…

The symbol I feel like was most important is the green light. What the green light represented was hopes and dreams for Gatsby. In the book “The Great Gatsby” Gatsby whole entire life was a lie. Gatsby wanted a female named Daisy. The reason why he couldn't get with Daisy was because of one important reason. The reasoning behind the fact he couldn’t get with Daisy was because his financial problem. Gatsby promised to Daisy that he would be able to take great care of her but the whole time Gatsby…

Visible Light Communication – Tomorrow’s Technology YASHODHA J K NITHYASHREE N Weir EnSci, Bengaluru Weir EnSci, Bengaluru yashodhajk@gmail.com Nithyashree0292@gmail.com Abstract-The Visible Light Communication (VLC) is an emerging technology, which provides distinct facilities such as fast data communication, secure data communication, high data rate wireless communication, etc. Instead of radio frequency, VLC uses light, to transfer data. The visible light spectrum is unlicensed…

1. What is this play about? Consider textual, subtextual and contextual layers of the dramatic text. Consider all of the elements of drama. Textual: Both Marion, an eighty-year old women, and a young girl also named Marion, sit in a park as they both do every morning. Through conversation, it becomes apparent that they are in fact the same person at the opposite ends of one shared life cycle. The younger Marion, simply referenced as ‘girl’ in the playtext, represents the beginning of their…
