Light and Photosynthesis

Introduction
Methodology
Results and discussion
Summary and Conclusions
 Photosynthesis
 Uses photons to eject electrons from the trap
molecules in photosystems I and II

 Thus, the presence of light affects

photosynthesis

 2 experiments…

1. Hydrilla setup

2. Coleus setup
 Hydrilla setup
 Bubbles came out from the
shoot when the setup was
exposed to bright light
 Coleus setup
 Pigments being
extracted using 95%
ethanol

 Coleus leaf starts to

lose its greenish color
 Coleus setup
 IKI dropped to the coleus
sample

 IKI is an indicator for the

presence of starch

Summary and Conclusions
 Hydrilla graph
 The number of bubbles seems to be
diminishing as time passes by

 Dissolved CO2 may have been used up

 No evidence (bubbles) for the occurrence of

photosynthesis in dim light
 Summary and Conclusion
 Light is needed in photosynthesis
