Lab Challenge Do plants perform cellular respiration in addition to photosynthesis? Plant Respiration and Photosynthesis

Background Photosynthesis The process of photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plants. Light is necessary for the entire photosynthesis process to occur. The formula for photosynthesis is: 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + LIGHT ENERGY ----> C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 Carbon dioxide, water, and light are required to produce glucose and oxygen.

This image is a reminder to tap to take a snapshot of the page after you have entered your response. Self Check 1.If you were measuring carbon dioxide levels in a terrarium during photosynthesis, you would expect to see the levels ________. a)increase b)decrease c)stay the same Plant Respiration and Photosynthesis

...Background Cellular Respiration The process of cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of ALL cells. Cellular respiration converts the glucose made by photosynthesis into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the energy source that is usable by cells. The formula for cellular respiration is: C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O > 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + Energy (ATP molecules) Glucose and oxygen produce carbon dioxide, water and ATP. Plant Respiration and Photosynthesis

Self Check 2.If carbon dioxide levels were being monitored inside a terrarium, you would expect to see an increase in CO 2 levels when the plants were in ___________. a)darkness b)light c)Canada Plant Respiration and Photosynthesis

Safety Follow all common lab safety procedures. Do not allow the CO 2 sensor to get wet! Plant Respiration and Photosynthesis

Materials and Equipment Collect all of these materials before beginning the lab. PASPORT CO 2 Gas Sensor Sensor extension cable Sampling bottle (included with the sensor) Large beaker or aquarium (to act as a heat sink) Box or heavy cloth Aluminum foil Lamp, 100-watt Mint plant Water, 1 L Plant Respiration and Photosynthesis

The steps to the left are part of the procedure for this lab activity. They are not in the right order. Determine the correct sequence of the steps, then take a snapshot of this page. Sequencing Challenge A. Cover the bottle with a box or cloth and record CO 2 production in the dark. B. Record CO 2 production when the plant is exposed to the light. C. Analyze the changes in CO 2 production in dark vs. light. D. Add several stems and leaves of a small plant into the sampling bottle. Plant Respiration and Photosynthesis

Setup: Darkness 1.Attach the Carbon Dioxide Gas Sensor to a sensor extension cable and connect it to the SPARK Science Learning System. 2.Add 25 mL of water to the sample bottle. 3.Gently push several stems of the plant into the sampling bottle. Try to arrange the leaves so that they are facing outward. 4.Calibrate the sensor by pushing and releasing the green button on the sensor. When the green light in the button begins flashing again, the sensor is calibrated. Plant Respiration and Photosynthesis

Prediction: General Q1: Why do you think that water is needed in the sample bottle? Plant Respiration and Photosynthesis

Q2: What do you think will happen to the CO 2 level in the bottle while the plant is in the dark? Explain why. Collect Data: Darkness 1.Place the CO 2 Gas Sensor firmly into the sampling bottle. 2.Carefully cover the sample bottle with a box or heavy cloth to block out any light. 3.Tap to begin data collection. 4.Record data for 10 minutes and then tap to stop data collection. Plant Respiration and Photosynthesis

Q2: What is the purpose of the aluminum foil? Q3: What is the purpose of the beaker/ aquarium full of water? Setup: Light 1.Remove the cloth or box from the sampling bottle and place the bottle on aluminum foil. 2.Place a large beaker of water or aquarium between the light source and the beaker. 3.Turn on the light source and wait 3 minutes to allow photosynthesis to begin. Plant Respiration and Photosynthesis

Q4: What do you think will happen to the CO 2 level in the bottle while the plant is in the light? Explain why. Collect Data: Light 1.Tap to begin data collection. 2.Record data for 10 minutes and then tap to stop data collection. Plant Respiration and Photosynthesis
