Photosynthesis
1. Would you illuminate your house plants with a green light bulb? Why or why not?
It would not be a wise choice to put a plant under a green light bulb. The reason for this is that due to the fact that the leaves are green they reflect green light. This shining green light onto the flowers will cause photosynthesis to stop. Since the light is being reflectd, the cells do not get any light. With out light they cannot carry out the everyday …showed first 85 words of 385 total…

4. State you hypothesis for the directed experiment.
The leaves in the sodium bicarbonate will rise to the top of the syringes faster than the ones in the distilled water will.
5. Explain the differences in results between those disks in dH2O and NaHCO3.
The difference is that the NaHCO3 has more oxygen to offer and reacts quicker than dH2O.
6. State your hypothesis for step11.
If the concentration of NaHCO3 is raised from .5% ot 3% then the rate of photosyntesis will increase as well.
