Photosynthesis and Chlorophyll Gas Exchange

• Chlorophyll-containing plants are autotrophic, synthesizing organic substances from minerals like water, mineral salts, and CO2 through photosynthesis.
• Photosynthesis needs light energy and involves chlorophyllic gas exchange with the external environment.

Photosynthetic Gas Exchange Analysis

• How can gas exchange be demonstrated?
• How do chlorophyll-containing plants synthesize organic substances and which cellular structures are involved?
• How is light energy converted into chemical energy?
• What are the primary types of organic matter produced by photosynthesis?

Exhibiting Chlorophyllic Gas Exchanges

• How to test the absorption of CO2 (refer to document 1)

Display the Absorption of CO2(See Document 1)

• Bromothymol blue (BB) is a blue dye at neutral or basic pH but turns yellowish-green when acidic due to the presence of carbon dioxide (CO2).

• The figure provided illustrates an experiment showing how CO2 absorption can be demonstrated with chlorophyll-containing plants in an aquatic environment.

• Four test tubes are prepared to demonstrate CO2 absorption by the aquatic plant Elodea, exposed to ambient air and light:

• Tube contains BB and water.

• Tube contains BB, water, and CO2.

• Tube contains BB, water, CO2, and Elodea.

• Tube contains BB, water, CO2, and Elodea, kept in darkness.

• The figures shows results of this procedure

• An experiment is performed to demonstrate CO2 absorption by a plant in a terrestrial setting.

• Cresol red changes color depending on CO2 concentration:

• Light brown in ambient air.

• Red in CO2-poor air.

• Yellow in CO2-rich air.

• Utilize both bromothymol blue and cresol red to elucidate the results obtained and outline the biological phenomenon illustrated.

• Initial state:

• Tube is blue because of the lack of CO2.

• Tubes, , and are yellowish-green because of the high CO2.

• Final state

• Coloration: Tubess and does not change because conditions of procedure does not change.

• Coloration: There's a coloration change. The blue color is a sign it can be attributed to a reduction in CO2 levels as the plant has taken in that CO2.

• Coloration: Tube does not change so there's not a CO2 absorption in this setting.

• Next steps:

• Tubes and are yellow due to their high CO2 content.

• Change: Tube light brown since of CO2 production by plant cell.

• Conclusion: In the presence of light, terrestrial and aquatic plants with chlorophyll absorb CO2.

Pointing Out Oxygen Release (See Document 2)

• Aquatic plants (Elodea) are put under funnel with test tube in both shade and light.
• Beginning: Both tubes were full of water
• Results: The figures show the results an hour later
• Gas collection: Gas in the test tube relights an ember
• Comparing results: What can be implied by comparing the results obtained in the light and in the shade?
• The chlorophyllous plant releases a gas that revives an ember in the light and CO2.
• Conclude: The plant releases oxygen (O2) in the light/CO2.
• Chlorophyll plants use CO2 and yield O2
• Photosynthesis: Cellular process which releases O2 and takes in CO2.
• Photosynthetic intensity (PI): CO2 absorbed or O2 released depending on time/plant matter.

Factors that act on Chlorophyll Gas Exchanges

• To get the actual (crude) gas swaps linked to photosynthesis, respiratory exchanges should be reflected.

Computerized Experimentation (ExAO): (See Document 3)

• Computer-Assisted Experimentation (ExAO) is a learning setup with a computer, interface, software, and sensors.
• ExAO enable real time measurements to take of parameter variations of organisms, cells, or cellular components.
• Sensors: Physical quantity variation recorded by interface, then signal goes to computer
• Advantages: Data incorporated into computer allows many benefits
• Data is automated
• Data: Readily kept then processed by software
• Presentation: Graphic, simple
• Result: Facilitates analysis and teaching

Impact of Certain Elements

• Factors: Various environmental elements influence the interchange of chlorophyll.
• Dioxide (O2): Measured either through release of oxygen or consuming CO2
• ExAO: Devices that detect the O2 level.

Report 4:(Sequel):

• Illumination Level: Influence of light intensity

• Temperature/CO2 : When kept constant, lighting can be changed by shifting source

• Oxygen: Measuring its volume reveals the effects of each lighting

• The figure 1 results are obtained

Analysis

• Compensation Points (C1 and C2): Lighting for zero net photosynthesis where oxygen output balances respiration input.
• Optimal or Saturation Lighting (S1 and S2): Light level where chart achieves plateau.
• Absorption: Above that ability absorption is surpassed.
• Extreme cases: Exchanges max out.
• Light exposure that is weak leads to not being able to release oxygen.
• Consuming: O2 while breathing
• Rejection: Above that oxygen output rises w/ more light access, at max levels based on environment.
• Plant shifts: Solar plant life adjusts to environment.
• Beyond: At maximum photosynthetic function, oxygen release is typically constant, irrespective of increases in intensity.

Carbon Dioxide Concentration Influence (Experiment 2)

• Absorption Plants: Plants take in CO2(0.03%)
• Aquatic Plants: Plants digest ions.
• Chart: A linearly increases (A), then O2 rate increases w/ CO2 volume gain
• Photosynthesis : Maxes out under these conditions which maximizes it.
• Air: 0.03% CO2 level
• Toxic: 2% is harmful (C).

Temperature Factor (Experiment 3)

• Point (A): O2 release starts at -10 °C and rises w/ temp, hitting highest (B) at 37°C
• Photosynthesis : Ideal temp here.
• Peak: Diminishes after 37°C, to point of stopping at 50°C.
• Diminished: When temp goes down from point D, volume lowers, yet fails to meet temp at (B).
• Above 50°C: Outcome goes against nature.

Outcomes:

• Influences: The environment causes different reactions.
• Rate factors: The rule says which ones affect outcomes.
• When many things act regardless, rate is limited to that displaying smallest amount.
• Limit: In this rate, process has proportional scale to what has been mentioned.
