The hypothesis here is that it is the quality of the light, not the quantity of the light that makes a difference, and having a lot more light will not necessarily make photosynthesis occur any faster.
Discussion
With an experiment like this there is always room for error. Measurements taken incorrectly is the biggest problem, because there are multiple steps to be taken each time the light source is moved, and it is very important to ensure that this is being addressed correctly. The quality of the plant and its health could also affect whether it produced photosynthesis rates that are appropriate and generalized for its species, as well. These are variables that can only be controlled to a certain degree and, as such, have to be accounted for.
Materials and Methods
In this experiment, the goal is to measure the rate of photosynthesis that Elodea shoots have when they are exposed to specific light sources and distances. The materials needed are:
Heat filter
Meterstick
Pipette, 1 ml
Plastic tubing, 7 cm lengths
Ring stand
Ring stand test-tube clamps
Scalpel or razor blade
Spot lamp, 300 watt, or fluorescent lamp
Syringe and needle, 5 ml
Test tube
Test-tube rack
Tubing clamp, screw-type
Sodium bicarbonate solution, 2%
Elodea...
The rate of photosynthesis will be studied for each bulb and distance and the number of oxygen bubbles that the Elodea shoot produces will be recorded so that the differences between bulbs can be addressed. This will show whether there is a clear difference in photosynthesis based on quantity of light, quality of light, or both.
Results
The results of the experiments indicate that the rate of photosynthesis with a 100-watt bulb is much higher than the rates with 150-watt bulbs. While the red filter on the 150-watt bulb helped to produce more bubbles in the same length of time, it did not increase bubble production as high as the 100-watt bulb did. Most people would assume that a 150-watt bulb would make more bubbles because of the stronger wattage - and therefore, allegedly, more light - but that was clearly not the case. Instead, the lower wattage light bulb caused a higher level of photosynthesis to occur, as can be seen in the charts below.

casts light upon the unethical practices carried out in the domain of marketing strategy. The paper identifies basic ethical issues explaining how customers are trapped and they lose confidence in the organizations and their marketing campaigns. Marketing is considered as the backbone of a business organization which enables it to communicate with the customers. It is an unquestioned fact that business is driven by the customers who are primary revenue
3. I do not think that Infosys' "holistic" compensation system is an appropriate means of motivation for sales people. That compensation system is designed for software engineers and other programmers. If you consider the hierarchy of human needs, sales people are driven by two particular types of needs -- one is money (status) and the other is achievement. The emotional aspect is intended to meet social needs, but the majority
The questionnaires for the purpose of this particular study were completed by 179 participants. The gender preference breakdown of the participants included 60 lesbians, 45 heterosexual females, 39 heterosexual males and 37 gay males (Harkless, Blaine, 2005). When the study was completed and the data went through analysis it was found that gay men and lesbian women reported a higher degree of post relationship involvement with their former partners than heterosexual
The crux of this challenge however is the distribution and fulfillment system, an area Amazon.com for example had streamlined for low-quantity orders before ever launching their website and online store. This equates to what Elberse and Oberholzer-Gee (2006) mention as the ability of online retailers to in effect feed the creation of long-tail markets by representing thousands of products online and fulfilling them through synchronized order management and supply
The last century has seen an increase in the level of international purchases which has been supported by the developments in transportation and technology. Goods can move faster than before with developments in logistics. The negotiation and forming contracts for purchase with companies and communicate with potential suppliers in distant countries is also easier than in the past with the internet and tools such as video conferencing and emails.
This also implies inadequacies in fiscal sustainability, which influences investments in private sectors. The second channel happens through the level, composition and quality involved within the public investment, which shows the level at which the public investment replaces the private investments (Schmidt- Hebbel, Serven, & Solimano, 1996). The final channel regards the level of taxation on the corporate earnings and the rules applicable in depreciations. There have been arguments that fiscal policy
