Biology Lab Report on the Effects of Photosynthesis

Abstract For this lab the rate of photosynthesis was analyzed upon plant leaves. A sample of a light exposed and a not-light exposed leave were used to clearly identify the role of sunlight in the process of producing and storing energy. Aim We are trying to find proof, to demonstrate the necessity of light and chlorophyll in the process of photosynthesis. Background Photosynthesis occurs in organisms which contain chlorophyll. It's a process that involves the …

…be repeated in order to obtain some useful results. Obviously the plants had not been exposed to sufficient sunlight over the past two days, most of the coloring of the leaves were quite minor. This in a way also helped to gain information about the process of photosynthesis. When only little light is present causing the plant to produce little starch proves that there is a direct relationship between the rate of photosynthesis and light.
