TRACKING PHOTOSYNTHESIS WITHIN LIGHT WAVES OF GAS CONCENTRATIONS Tracking Photosynthesis within Light Waves of Gas Concentrations Perla Garcia Karely Beltran, Pearl Thao, Christopher Jimenez, Thanh Tran BIOL 1441; Section 301; Instructor Yiting Xu ; October 18, 2023 In this lab experiment, A selected amount of hue displaying different movements of wavelengths was utilized to become the energy source from the inputs of photosynthesis. According to the hypothesis, blue light is preferable based on the knowledge of the display of how each wave interacts in energy matter. To comprehend how carbon dioxide and oxygen affect the chloroplasts in the cabbage leaf, we'll pay close attention to these two variables. To measure photosynthesis accurately, we will record one data point every minute for a total of ten minutes to distinguish the amount of change the surrounding environment pertains to the subject. Introduction The term wavelengths will be used in this experiment to describe how photosynthesis curves are saturated with high light intensity and how light-saturated photosynthetic rates exhibit significant differences among leaves, even within the same individual. (Kume, 2017) Looking into the effect of wavelengths from reflected light, it concurs that different types of color hues will guarantee a different rate to track the oxygen and carbon respiration absorbed when interacting with the chlorophyll. (Spencer, 2018) The thylakoid membrane contains a functional unit known as photosystems which inquire over the topic of this experiment. We will now be able to see how photosynthesis impacts the cells of a vegetable as a result of our deeper comprehension of transpiration within a plant. 1

TRACKING PHOTOSYNTHESIS WITHIN LIGHT WAVES OF GAS CONCENTRATIONS Materials & Method Materials - Multi-colored Bluetooth Light Bulb - Fresh Cabbage - Oxygen and Carbon Sensor - Plastic Chamber - Data Collection Interface Unit Method In this section, There will be a control group and experimental groups utilized in the order of reporting the different colors of wavelengths concerning light that affect the rate of photosynthesis. The primary points will include the Carbon Dioxide concentration and Oxygen concentration to verify the reaction of how the process will contribute to the chloroplast of the cabbage leaves. The plan for the equipment will prioritize a multicolor lightbulb that can replicate the exact visible colors known as Red (625-750 nm), Green (500-565 nm), and Violet/Blue (450-485 nm). At the same time, the light of the control group will be White as it consists of different wavelengths. Apart from that, it will follow up with cabbage leaves, Aluminum foil, Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen sensors, and a chamber with a lid. To confirm these experiments, One data point per every minute for the entire duration of ten minutes in total to conclude the full result of the leaves' state of photosynthesizing. As for the methods utilized in analyzing this data will carry towards Excel and the Data collection interface unit to secure the correct number of how each wavelength maintains its range. (Walsh et al., 2023) 2

TRACKING PHOTOSYNTHESIS WITHIN LIGHT WAVES OF GAS CONCENTRATIONS Results The results did show a fair display of contrast between each gas concentration given towards the cabbage based on each hue of Red, Blue, Green, and White highlighting the wavelength-dependent nature of the sensors' performance in cabbage samples. Based on how its various wavelengths interacted with it, White was designated in this study as the control group. (Vedantu, 2023) Figure 1: The Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide concentration interlay in the 8th minute of the 10 minutes performed through the process.White light results from combining various visible spectrum wavelengths, forming the basis for color theory and applications like RGB displays. Table 1: Results show Oxygen and Carbon gasses only seemed to intersect near the last few minutes left during the White light (Figure 1) compared to the rest of the three trials. The average of Carbon is 2.0257 and Oxygen is 183.665. The slope of the trendline presents y = 0.0082x + 183.62 which explains the relationship within the time along with CO while y = -0.06x + 2.3855 ₂ in for O . ₂ Gas - White Light (Control) 3

(Heidi Wollaeger, 2022) 4

TRACKING PHOTOSYNTHESIS WITHIN LIGHT WAVES OF GAS CONCENTRATIONS Figure 2: After 10 minutes of the process, the Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide concentrations overlap around the eighth minute. Despite being in between the Red (625-750 nm) and Blue (450-485 nm) waves, the green light being one of the experimental turns has shown to be quite similar and more extended when compared to them in the concentrations. As for the formula, It displays the relationship for CO to be y = 0.0182x+2.0323 in an ascending order compared to ₂ the descending order of O to show y = -0.0037x + 183.74. ₂ Based on their graph, the last two wavelength types are similar, not only in terms of speed but also in how they represent the same gas concentrations. Compared to the red wavelength, which has longer lengths, the blue wavelength is thought to have the most energy. (Education, 2018) Figure 3 & 4: The graphs' alignment shows that these gas concentrations are increasing and rising in a straight line. Compared to Red wavelengths for carbon (1.9474) and oxygen (182.99), the average of blue wavelengths for carbon (2.017) and oxygen (183.585) is higher. The graphs show the slopes going in ascending order. (Red Light - Carbon Dioxide : y = 0.0073x + 1.9036 , 5

TRACKING PHOTOSYNTHESIS WITHIN LIGHT WAVES OF GAS CONCENTRATIONS Oxygen : y = -0.0555x + 182.66) (Blue Light - Carbon Dioxide: y = 0.0069x +1.9758, Oxygen: y = 0.0252x + 183.43) Discussion According to the experiments, blue light was thought to have the best rapid wavelength despite the red light being particularly close to second place, especially considering how much faster its energy rate is and how it appears on graphs in terms of the numerical concentrations of how oxygen and carbon dioxide respond to it. Since chlorophyll is the most prevalent pigment in plants and absorbs light primarily at wavelengths of 430 nm (blue) and 662 nm (red), it can be inferred that photosynthesis in particular was aided by blue light in the first 10 minutes. (Wordlamp, 2023) This supports the idea that, in certain situations, the environment around plants, flowers, and trees can be advantageous based on factors other than just the sun, as photosynthesis is primarily responsible for. 6
