Overall blue and red light works best, while green in least effective in the photosynthesis process (Nishio, 2000). The wavelengths that a pigment absorbs, absorption spectra, are determined using a spectrophotometer. In order to obtain the photosynthetic pigment's absorption spectra the pigments are separated using paper chromatography...

Paper chromatography is an analytical technique that separates a mixture based on the individual pigment's size, polarity and solubility (Lewis, 2004). The separation of the mixtures involves a stationary phase (the chromatography paper), which a mobile phase (solvent) moves up through. When the mixtures is applied to the paper and allowed to flow with the mobile phase, the different pigments move at different rates (Campbell, 1996)...

Effects of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis Also, I would time the rate of photosynthesis for two minutes instead of one to make it even more reliable. I don't think that my experiment was accurate...	2 / 499
An Investigation on the effects of Light Intensity on Photosynthesis I will measure the amount of oxygen made by the number of bubbles given off from the plant. Preliminary experiments: In my preliminary experiment I learnt what to expect for the real experiment so this prepared me in many ways...	7 / 1904
How Does Light Affect The Rate Of Photosynthesis? I put a ring binder around the clamp stand so that ‘foreign’ light wouldn’t be collected by the pondweed and continue photosynthesis after I had switched of the lamp...	7 / 1899
biology - how light intensity affects the rate of photosynthesis Also if they decrease then it will be likely that the rate of photosynthesis will decrease as well. Me and my partner in this experiment decided that we will set the timer to start after sixty seconds in which the light has been turned on, we chose this because the photosynthesis rate will have been rising and be at a steady rate to take the amount of bubble recording after one minute...	8 / 2128
Photosynthesis Because many mesophyll cells are all transferring carbon to a relatively few bundle sheath cells, the ration of carbon dioxide to oxygen remains high in the bundle sheath cells and this also inhibits photorespiration...	4 / 1027
