Anyone know anything about PHOTOSYNTHESIS?

By admin On March 31, 2010 1 Comment

The test-tubes shown were set up by a student to test the effect of light on the process of photosynthesis. All test-tubes contain water and bromothymol blue. (note that bromothymol blue is a chemical indicator that changes colour from blue to yellow in the presence of carbon dioxide.) The student used a straw to bubble carbon dioxide gas through each test-tube until the mixture of water and indicator turned to yellow. Equal-sized pieces of freshwater weed were added to test-tubes A and B. The test-tubes were stoppered, and black plastic was wrapped around test-tube B. All test-tubes were exposed to a light source for a period of 24 hours.

test-tube A: with aquatic plant
test-tube B: with aquatic plant and black plastic wrapped around
test-tube C: with light source

QUESTIONS
- Which test-tube represents the control? Explain.
- What hypothesis was the student testing?
- Describe the colour change, if any, in each test-tube after 24-hour period that would support the hypothesis. In each case explain the expected results.

If anyone can answer any of these questions, it would be greatly appreciated.


How do i clear land in Florida, have 1.5 acres to clear, some wetland?

Glycolysis occurs only during anaerobic respiration.
Glycolysis occurs in mitochondria during aerobic respiration.

3. Which process is the main source of the oxygen used in aerobic respiration? (Points :1)

Group seeks help with lakes
BROOKLINE – The town Conservation Commission is looking for a few good volunteers – teenagers, college, students, retirees and anyone else interested in helping the New Hampshire Lakes Association, a statewide, nonprofit organization – to keep New Hampshire ponds and lakes free of variable milfoil, an invasive weed that in recent years has infested Melendy Pond and Lake Potanipo.
