The reason of live “Photosynthesis”

Abstract:

In this report some students from Melanie Klein School (MKS) they will talk about what is
photosynthesis, how it occurs in aquatic plants, its chemical structure, in addition, the whole
process is explained in detail, also because it is important for life; we will supply a
methodology for the understand how to make synthetic photosynthesis, this report will also
explain why chemical relationships occur with molecules such as CO2 and elements such as
H, O, among others.

Theoretical Framework: Key words:

The Elodea, also known as Yana, this
aquatic plant was found at the Simon
Bolivar park, the characteristic that have
this plant are going to be used for 2
different procedures. How is the
Eukaryotic cell and what characteristics
can have this one, also was planning to see
how the photosynthesis works, this process
is how the plant with help of the sunlight
energy transform the inorganic matter
-baking soda (NaHCO3) in the water
(H2O), to organic matter oxygen (O2)-.
Objective:
This work is for identify the chemical
change of the inorganic matter that is the
baking soda (NaHCO3) to organic that it
will be the oxygen (O2) using an aquatic
plant (Elodea) while using the phone's
flashlight pointing to the plant, what will
make that the stem make the oxygen by
the process of photosynthesis. Also it will
be used a leave of another aquatic plant for
look at the microscope and identify their
cells.
•Inorganic: This word is essential for the
topic of photosynthesis,“relating to or
denoting compounds which are not organic
(broadly, compounds not containing
carbon).”This part was taken from
-https://www.merriam-
webster.com/dictionary/inorganic-.
•Organic: From other part “An organic
compound; or any substance containing
carbon-based compounds, especially
produced by or derived from living
organisms.” This text was taken from
-https://www.biology-
online.org/dictionary/Organic-.
•Eukaryotic: Is the main characteristic of
this type of plant, the one that difference it
from the others, “Eukaryotic cells are cells
that contain a nucleus and organelles, and
are enclosed by a plasma membrane.
Organisms that have eukaryotic cells
include protozoa, fungi, plants and
animals” This paragraph was taken from
-https://biologydictionary.net/eukaryotic-

Results and analysis:

Picture 1: This image shows the aquatic

plant on a microscope where the cells and
chloroplast of the plant can be
distinguished.

Picture 2: This image shows the elodea

inside a container where there is a funnel
which is covered with a test tube so that
the oxygen that is produced by
Conclusions:
photosynthesis does not escape.
The project was successful because the
group visualize the oxygen (O2) that was
made by the plant by the photosynthesis.
At the microscope was successful because
the cells and chloroplasts were found; also
it was possible to analyze that
photosynthesis is faster when it have more
light (energy).

Picture 3: This image shows the elodea

plant out of the water to look better how is
the structure of the plant.
