The Three Experiments on Photosynthesis, Chromatography, and The Wavelength of Light

2 pages / 908 words

Three experiments were conducted which correlated with each other. First was to see how starch is only stored when a plant is able to perform photosynthesis. By using iodine, it showed how much starch is being stored. The darker the leaf absorbed by the iodine,...

An Analysis of The Photosynthesis Process from The Light Dependent and Light Independent Reactions

3 pages / 1270 words

Introduction We as heterotrophs rely on photosynthetic organisms for nearly all the organic plant matter that we consume for energy. Photosynthesis is one of the oldest and one of the most fundamental processes of life. (“BIO 1510 Laboratory Manual,” 2015, 131) We study the process...

Cell Signalling and G-protein

1 page / 651 words

A cell’s ability to respond to its environment is essential to its survival. Short term-responses to environmental stimuli, which can occur rapidly and are usually reversible, most often result from modification of existing proteins. The long-term response, are usually the result of changes in the...

What is Crispr and How Does It Operate

5 pages / 2387 words

The history on this topic actually starts thousands of years ago with selective breeding in animals. Through breeding selectively, we strengthened useful traits in plants and animals. We became good at this, but never fully were able to understand how it really worked. Then we...

The Effect of Light Intensity on The Rate of Photosynthesis in Elodea (pondweed)

2 pages / 766 words

In this experiment, we were testing the rate of photosynthesis in elodea. For a plant to photosynthesize, it needs carbon dioxide and water and sunlight, a factor of photosynthesis. In order for us to measure the rate of photosynthesis, we needed to measure the products...

Uses of Peroxidases Enzyme

3 pages / 1587 words

Peroxidases are oxidoreductases created by a number of plants and microorganisms. Lessening of Peroxidases in the nearness of electron giving substrate makes Peroxidases valuable in numerous business applications. Peroxidase catalysts, for example, manganese and lignin peroxidase both related with lignin corruption, which is effectively utilized...

Background Research on Seeds

2 pages / 995 words

Before germination, a seed goes through a resting period called dormancy. Germination of seeds is a complex physiological process that starts by imbibition of water after possible dormancy mechanisms have been released by the appropriate triggers, meaning that it resumes growth, bursting through its encasing....
