Elodea and Photosynthesis

Today we started of by letting Mr. Finley check our homework. Then for the students who were absent on Friday, Mr. Finley chose two people to catch up those students. Next he gave the tests back. Mr. Finley then gave stickers to the classmates who had the top 5 grades in the class. The equation for photosynthesis is 6Co2+6H2O+Light energy--->C6H12O6+6O2. Plants get CO2 from the stoma on the plant. The organelle in plants that is responsible for photosynthesis is the chloroplasts. Chlorophyll is the pigment found in in the organelle that absorbs light to power. If a plant were under water and was photosynthesizing, oxygen would be visible from the plant. The following picture in the top right corner is a diagram of photosynthesis. We need light energy to trigger a reaction in photosynthesis. Mostly photosynthesis doesn't happen in the dark.

First, Mr.Finley told us we would have a quiz on Tuesday or Wednesday on tonicity stuff, diffusion, active transport, passive transport, concept maps, and osmois.Also, Mr.Finley said that we wre going to have to present our quiz corrections to him from now on. After that, we got back a bunch of papers from the first and second marking period. Another thing was that the new website was taken down and replaced with the new one. Then, Mr.Finley told us that he updated the blogging calender, even if you went three times he put you at the end of the list, you have to tell him if you went three times. Then, we talked about the experiment on Friday. We said that 50 grams of water, which is mass, which is the amount of something that makes it up. Then, if you add 10 grams of sugar to the water you get 60 grams of sugar water. This happens because nothing went away. So it is really 50 grams of sugar water. Which is 50 grams equals 10 grams ash added to 40 grams smoke.The fundamental conservation of maps is that what you have in the begining is still there in the end.
