- Refer to the graph. Mustard plants were grown under 16 hours (hour 0 to 16) of light followed by 8 hours (hour 16 to 24) of dark for several weeks. Leaves were then excised at different times during a single 24-hour cycle and measured for mass before starch content was determined. The graph summarizes the results of these analyses, showing starch content expressed as starch mass per leaf mass. 9. 8 7 1 4 8 12 16 Hour 24 20 4- Milligrams of starch per gram of leafarrow_forwardSuppose we set up a system in a lab where plants are automatically injected with all the glucose they need to survive.

- 1) If we put a photosynthetic organism in a closed, sealed environment and shine a light on it, we observe that the CO2 and O2 levels in the container reach constant levels. a) Explain why this would occur. b) What factor/value would you expect to be the primary determinant of this value?arrow_forwardDCPIP (2,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol), a blue dye, can act as an electron acceptor and becomes colorless when reduced. A suspension of chloroplasts is prepared, and DCPIP is added to the suspension. The sample is split into two test tubes. One test tube is exposed to light and the other is wrapped in foil (dark control). What would you observe over time comparing the light exposed and the dark control test tubes? A. The sample exposed to light stays blue. The sample kept in the dark turns colorless. B. The sample exposed to light turns colorless. The sample wrapped in foil stays blue. C. Both samples stay blue. D. Both samples turn colorless.arrow_forwardMatch the step or structure in which each happens during Photosynthesis: A. Step where the water is split ?

- For photosynthesis lab in biology 1) This lab uses spinach leaves. Name another plant that would make an interesting comparison to spinach. Explain why you think this leaf would provide an interesting comparison 2) The lights used in this experiment are 60W. What would you predict the effect of having stronger or weaker wattage bulbs would be on your results? Explain. 3)This lab uses 0.2% sodium bicarbonate. What would you predict the effect of raising or lowering the percentage would be on your results? Explain. 4)What are TWO other things that might be manipulated in an experiment using this same protocol other than the type of leaf, percent sodium bicarbonate, and wattage of light bulb? 5) What key thing do you have to look for on the graph to know for certain that your treatment has caused a significant effect?arrow_forwardIn a photosynthetic plant cell, chlorophyll is located: a. in the stroma b. in the outer membrane of the chloroplast envelope c. in the intervascular space of the chloroplast d. in the inner membrane of the chloroplast envelope e. in the thylakoidsarrow_forwardSuppose that you are measuring CO2 exchange by a leaf. During the time period of your measurement, 1.10E+7 molecules of glyeraldehyde phosphate (PGAL) are made from CO2 in photosynthesis and 4.00E+6 molecules of glucose are used in cellular respiration. How many net molecules of CO2 would you detect being taken up by the leaf in your measurement?arrow_forward
