Bromination of Arenes This lab demonstrated the application of adding bromine to various arenes, hydrocarbons with alternating single bonds. This process, bromination, is a mechanism which treats hydrogen as a functional group. This being the case, the rate of reaction of certain arenes can be measured and compared to that of other arenes upon the addition of the bromine. The reaction occurs when the bromine radical generates from the halide diatomic molecule, using light energy. The fact that the energy needed to break the necessary bonds falls within the visible light spectrum is the basis on which the experiment is based.
The citric acid cycle takes certain compounds that donate protons and electrons to the electron transport chain. The electron transport chain then generates ATP through the process of oxidative phosphorylation. Krebs cycle also produces two ATP through the process of substrate phosphorylation. This process occurs in the mitochondria. • What is the role of the electron transport system?
The reaction center contains chlorophyll a. The role of pigments is to catch the wavelengths of light. In Exercise 4B, the function of DPIP will be reduced when light strikes the chloroplasts and the electrons will be boosted to higher energy. In this experiment NADPH is replaced by DPIP. The source of electrons that will reduce the DPIP is light.
This causes the excitation of two electrons, and they move to a higher energy level. These high-energy electrons move along electron transport chains in a series of redox reactions, releasing energy which activates the enzyme ATPase required in the production of ATP. Reduced NADP (NADPH) is also formed during the light-dependent reaction. The products ATP and reduced NADP from the light-dependent reaction are then used in the light-independent stage of photosynthesis (aka the Calvin cycle). Both ATP and NADPH are responsible for the reduction of glycerate-3-phosphate into triose phosphate, which is converted into many useful organic compounds like carbohydrates, mainly glucose.
According to Hopkins (2006), photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and certain organisms transform itself from light energy into chemical energy. As a straight forward chemical reaction in which carbon dioxide comes from the air, along with the midair and water from the soil, photosynthesis conglomerates to produce what is known as carbohydrate (p. 6). Solar Energy produced by photosynthesis, stores itself in a chemical bond of a carbohydrate molecule. Sugar known as glucose is then formed which becomes convenient both by way of energy to be stored for later use in tissues or by way of carbon to be used for cells (p.7). Hopkins, w. G. (2006).
Photosynthesis is the process when plants and some bacteria use the sun lights energy to produce glucose from carbon dioxide and water. carbon dioxide + water- sunlight- glucose + oxygen Energy in the form of light is the definition of electromagnetic energy. Any visible light like light bulbs, electromagnetic energy can take the form of it. The energy is being absorbed to break bonds making the process endothermic. When energy is being released making new bonds formed is called the exothermic process.
Name: Alexis Savastano How Does pH Affect an Enzyme? Catalase is an enzyme that helps decompose the toxic hydrogen peroxide that is produced during normal cell activities. The products of this reaction are water and oxygen gas. The pressure of the oxygen gas in a closed container increases as oxygen is produced. Any increase in the rate of reaction will cause an increase in the pressure of the oxygen.
Their physical properties also help to explain their decreasing reactivity. They exist as diatomic molecules e.g. Cl2, the halogens have very low melting and boiling points. This happens because more electrons are increasing down a group, so this also leads to an increase Van Der Wall’s forces inducing dipoles between the molecules. The relatively high oxidising power of the halogens could be due to their electronic configuration.
In plants the way they get there energy is through sun light where they have process called photosynthesis where they produce and release oxygen in the air. Photosynthesis requires direct sunlight, carbon-dioxide, and water. In this process of photosynthesis, plants decompose the molecules of hydrogen and carbon dioxide into hydrogen, then carbon and oxygen produces glucose which forms their source of energy, food and growth. Solar cells similar to this process get sunlight where light in the form of photons hits the solar cell and are absorbed by semiconducting materials such as silicon. Negative electrons are break free from their atoms, causing them with an electric potential difference.
Introduction: Photosynthesis is one of the most important processes for organisms to live, and it is a process that essentially absorbs light energy from the sun and turns it into chemical energy.

Aim: The aim of my experiment is to see how much of a role light takes in the process of photosynthesis. In the sense of what sort of spectrum there is in terms of the ability of the Elodea plant to continue to photosynthesize with “too little” or “too much” light. I will do this by counting the number of bubbles that are released, as they are a product of the process of photosynthesis.
