  1. Photosynthesis Lab Review

  2. Photosynthesis • Plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy that is stored in sugars • Chlorophyll is the primary pigment in chloroplasts

  3. Plant Pigment Chromatography • Paper chromotography is used to separate a mixture into its component molecules • The different molecules move up the paper at different rates because of differences in: • Solubility, molecular mass, and hydrogen bonding with the paper

  4. You separated plant pigments using an organic solvent (acetone)

  5. Analysis of Results • Movement of pigment relative to movement of solvent is a constant, Rf (Reference front) • Rf = distance pigment moved/distance solvent moved

  6. Photosynthesis—Light Reactions • Light energy excites electrons in plant pigments • Boosts them to a higher energy state • High energy electrons reduce electron acceptors in the thylakoid membrane • Energy is captured in NADPH & ATP

  7. DPIP as an Electron Acceptor • You measured rate of electron excitation when light hits chlorophyll • DPIP is an electron acceptor • As DPIP is reduced, it changes from blue to colorless • To measure the color change, you used a spectrophotometer • Measures amount of light absorbed or transmitted by the sample

  8. Design of the Experiment

  9. Results • As chlorophyll’s electrons are exited, they reduce the DPIP, and the sample becomes more and more pale, and the transmittance increases

  10. Cellular Respiration Lab • Occurs in every cell of all living things • Mitochondria • Nutrients (sugars) convert ADP to ATP • ATP used for all cellular activities that require energy • C6H12O6 + 6O2 --------> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ~38 ATP

  11. Design of the Experiment • You measured amount of oxygen consumed by peas using a respirometer

  12. Design of the Experiment

  13. Results •  temp =  respiration •  germination =  respiration
