Abstract— Leaves have a noteworthy part in plant species furthermore in nature. There are sure leaves which have therapeutic qualities. Recognizable proof of carbon copy departs is turning into a noteworthy goal for investigative purposes. Keeping in mind the end goal to beat that, PC vision system is used, which incorporates picture handling calculation. Manual distinguishing proof for the leaves sometimes prompts more imperative qualification because of twin. Consequently, validation of leaves

case of temperature, variations in thermal energy can cause alterations in chloroplast functionality. On the colder extreme, the rate of photosynthesis is hindered due to a decrease in H+ concertation due to an alteration in the movement of the thylakoid membrane (Busch et al. 2006). Alternatively, elevated temperatures would also disrupt the rate of photosynthesis. The presence of heat would interfere with the Photosystem II of the light-dependent photosynthetic reactions (Agrawal et al. 2014). Similarly

from the sunlight,among with water are converted into ATP and NADPH. Light - Independent Reactions Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration yes , John the carbon atom is almost done with the photosynthesis . Cellular Respiration Cellular Respiration takes place in the Mitochondria.Here John will enter his final process. The Journey of a Carbon Atom named John What is photosynthesis ? Photosynthesis converts water and carbon dioxide gas into oxygen gas and carbohydrates. Now we will begin our journey

Nepenthes gracilis is a carnivorous plant found mostly in humid, tropical climates, such as South-Eastern Asia, Australia, and Madagascar, however they grow in soils that lack essential nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) to their survival (Adlassnig 2011). In order to offset this fact, N. gracilis has adapted the ability to trap its animal prey and obtain those nutrients it lacks in its soil through its prey, consisting of arthropods (mostly ants). As ants climb onto the inner surface of N. gracilis

The initial objective of our study was to determine how light intensity affects the speed of the Cepaea nemoralis.. In both trial 1 and trial 2, when C. nemoralis was exposed to an environment of higher light intensity, their speed of movement was much faster than when the snails were in an area of lower light intensity. The results from both trial 1 and trial 2 were consistent with our prediction that the speed of C. nemoralis would increase as the light intensity increased. Light intensity was

Light is part of a continuum of radiation or energy waves, shorter wavelengths of energy contain more amounts of energy. Wavelengths of life in the visible light spectrum power the process of photosynthesis. Visible light is the only wave that has enough energy to cause chemical change without destroying biological molecules. Short, high frequency waves such as gamma rays have way too much energy and break hydrogen bonds found within biological molecules. Longer waves of heat like microwaves or radiowaves

affect their hatch rates. I was drawn to this area because I have an interest in how several outside factors can affect the nature of a process. My hypothesis for this lab is that the larger amount of calcium added into a petri dish will result with a faster hatching rate due to the extra nutrients. The independent variable of this lab is the concentrations of calcium, while the dependent variable is the brine shrimp eggs hatch rate. The constant is petri dish A that will have no calcium added. I plan

C4 photosynthesis will separate light reactions from carbon fixation in space. It makes and transports oxaloacetate, which takes a great amount of energy. C4 will maximize the use of photosynthesis at higher temperatures and higher light conditions. Also just like CAM photosynthesis it keeps rubisco away from O2. Speaking of CAM photosynthesis, it separates the light reaction from carbon fixation in time not space. CAM also incorporates Malic acid which also takes a lot of energy to make and transport

something like this even occur? What if we just took a moment and appreciate the reason why plants exist. Is it for their own benefit, or the worlds? Photosynthesis is the process in which plants (containing the green pigment, Chlorophyll) convert sunlight into food from the use of carbon dioxide and water, and oxygen as a byproduct. During photosynthesis, autotrophs use light energy to power chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and energy-rich carbohydrates such as sugars
