 Data logging ?
The process where computer used to
collect data through sensors, data
analyzed and saved. The results of
the collection and analysis become
the output.
Data logger is the electronic
instrument that records the
measurement over time .

DID YOU KNOW THE IMPORTANT OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS IN A
PLANT CELL ?
- Photosynthesis takes placeinsideplant cellsin small
things called chloroplasts. Chloroplasts (mostly found in the
mesophyll layer) contain a green substance called
chlorophyll. Below are the other parts of the cellthat work
with the chloroplast to make photosynthesis happen.
HOW ARE LEAVES ADAPTED FOR PHOTOSYNTHESIS?
- Photosynthesisis the process by whichleavesabsorb
light and carbon dioxide to produce carbohydrate (food) for
plants to grow.Leavesareadaptedto perform their
function for example they have a large surface area to
absorb sunlight.

Planning and doing experiment .
 Procedures
1. The oxygen and temperature (and humidity) sensors
are connected to the DrDAQ data logger.
2. A piece of turf is cut to fit the container. With about 2
cm of soil it will continue to grow well.
3. A couple of sticks are inserted into the soil.
4. The bag must be put next to a window as light levels
quickly fall off going into a room..
5. PicoLog is set to record at one sample per minute, with
a maximum of 1440 samples (i.e. one days worth of
data)..
6. The graph is set to show light, oxygen content,
humidity and temperature, with the time scale set to time
of day..

 PBL Questions
1. Did you know photosynthesis stop
reaction at night ?
2. Based what you know about
pigment, why do some people who
live in very hot , sunny climates wear
white ?
3. Which pigments provide the
maximum efficiency for a plant as it
conducts photosynthesis ?
 PBL Answers
1. Photosynthesis stop reaction at
night, but respiration still happen
 2. Because white reflects all of the
wavelengths of visible light , and the
resulting less absorption.
 3. The answers is Chloroplast

HOW IS PHOTOSYNTHESIS ESSENTIAL TO LIFE ON
EARTH?
Animals and plants both synthesize fats and proteins
from carbohydrates; thus glucose is a basic energy
source for all living organisms. The oxygen released (with
water vapor, in transpiration) as a photosynthetic
byproduct, principally of phytoplankton, provides most of
the atmospheric oxygen vital to respiration in plants and
animals, and animals in turn produce carbon dioxide
necessary to plants. Photosynthesis can therefore be
considered the ultimate source of life for nearly all plants
and animals by providing the source of energy that
drives all their metabolic processes.
 Conclusion
Of course, we humans get the benefit of all that food,
water, and yummy oxygen that photosynthesis
creates. At the same time, we contribute to the
process in a continuous cycle of dependencies. We
expel lots of carbon dioxide into the environment in the
process of breathing, which provides some of the
necessary components for photosynthesis to create
more food, oxygen, and water. Everything's connected
in the process: The sun shines, we breathe, plants suck
up sunlight and carbon dioxide, which in turn is used to
create food and water for us to eat and drink, and
oxygen for us to breathe... And the cycle continues for
as long as the sun shines.
