Presentation Transcript

  1. Photosynthesis lab

  2. Outline of the day • Turn in your lab reports at the front • More than 10 minutes late = bad • Any questions on last week’s lab? • Quiz • Introduction to the lab • Lab! • Check out • Get a stamp • Make sure I mark you down for attendance

  3. Quiz • Ends 10 minutes after it’s started • Ends at: ____

  4. Lab this week! • Exploring photosynthesis! • What pigments are used • How light interacts with chlorophyll • Effect of photosynthesis on carbon-dioxide concentration

  5. Plants do photosynthesis in leaves and/or stems CC licensed images from: http://flickr.com/photos/zachdurland/369427527/; http://flickr.com/photos/janinehealy/133056572/; http://flickr.com/photos/jayw/116902430/

  6. Plants and algae have chloroplasts • Contain highly folded membranes • Called thylakoids • Increases surface area exposed to light • Chlorophyll is in these membranes • Chlorophyll “harvests” light Liverwort leaf cells A chloroplast Chloroplast PD by It'sJustMe at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Chloroplast-new.jpg Chloroplast in liverwort cells from Wellcome images http://images.wellcome.ac.uk/ B0005648 Credit M I Walker, Wellcome Images

  7. Summary of “typical” photosynthesis Light O2 “Light reactions” Chlorophyll-mediated H2O ATP NADPH “Dark reactions” Calvin cycle Sugars CO2 Note: In plants, all these reactions occur in the chloroplast Artwork by Marc Perkins

  8. Lab hints: • Put on lots of the photosynthetic concentrate for the pigment part • Make sure your extract is crystal-clear after it’s been filtered • Stop blowing into the phenol red as soon as it turns yellow • If you go too long, it will take hours to turn back!

  9. Before you leave • Clean up your work area • Wash glassware and store upside down • Show me your lab report so I can stamp it • Need to have all data fields filled in • Complete at home and then turn in at the beginning of next lab • Remember that we’ll have a quiz at the beginning of the next class • 6-7 questions on today’s lab • 3-4 questions on the lab we’ll do next week

  10. Notes for the instructor: • Add any relevant cleanup instructions to the final slide (that slide is a generic one I’m adding to each presentation). • I haven’t been able to find a good, single-image creative-commons licensed summary of photosynthesis that shows the inputs and outputs clearly (which I’ve indicated is missing on the photosynthesis summary slide in the presentation). I’ve sketched out the basics of what I’m looking for, but if you find a good one please let me know. • I’d also love a better diagram/image of a single chloroplast.
