The following questions deal with the environment and are mainly about sunlight, photosynthesis, and definitions of what Primary and Secondary productivity are. Also deals with upwelling and the productivity of certain areas in the world.
Light intensity is a factor in the rate of photosynthesis, which is production of simple sugars from carbon dioxide and water causing the release of sugar and oxygen. Light is what causes photosynthesis to occur. Hence it stands to reason that the intensity and duration of light will affect this biological process.
Investigates the effect of carbon dioxide concentration on the rate of photosynthesis. Predicts that as the concentration of carbon dioxide increases, the rate of photosynthesis will also increase.
Photosynthesis is the storage of energy in carbon compounds. In photosynthesis, the sun's energy is converted to chemical energy and stored in glucose molecules. In photosynthesis, we see energy associated with electrons or being released from association of electrons. Cellular respiration is done by all cells. In respiration, the energy stored in organic compounds may have been produced by the cell itself or stolen from another organism. Respiration uses oxygen from the environment to create carbon dioxide.
Provides the results and methods for measurement of photosynthetic rate of the leaves of Bean and Corn plants. Also shows if there is a difference in this rate when considering C4 and C3 Plants.
Photosynthesis is the manufacture of carbohydrates in plants. The four main materials needed are sunlight, chlorophyll, carbon dioxide and water. Chlorophyll found in the chloroplasts absorbs sunlight. The chlorophyll absorbs light energy and then converts it into chemical energy for photosynthesis. The food produced is then stored as starch in the form of starch granules.
