Motion in the Ocean: Photosynthesis Lab

Oxygen
1. no light and green light had 0% change
2. blue light made most oxygen
3.white light produces less photosynthesis than blue light
1. a. no light- photosynthesis requires light to split H2O into O2

b. green light- plant is green, and green light is reflected by chlorophyll in chloroplast, so the plant cannon use this light to split H2O into O2 with photosynthesis
2.Colors-blue, red, white
-colors are not reflected
-plants absorb the light waves for photosynthesis meaning H2O turns into O2
-blue made more than red b/c aquatic plants maybe adapted to use blue wavelength the best
3. White light
-made out of all the colors
-b/c it has blue it should have at least done as well as the blue light
-also can use red light to make even more
Errors
-more or less algae
-mass of each set
