Motion in the Ocean part 3 (?)

Always calculate percent change (gives you a starting point).


No light       1.2 -> 1.2     0%
White Light    1.1 -> 2.1     91%
Blue Light     1.4 -> 3.7     164%
Red Light      1.6 -> 3.0     88%
Green Light    1.0 -> 1.0     0%




-no light and green light had 0% change (photosynthesis requires light to split water into oxygen; no light has no photosynthesis. Plant was green, and green light is reflected by chlorophyll in chloroplast; plant cant use that green light for photosynthesis because that green light is being reflected.)


-blue light made most oxygen (because blue, red and white -colors are not being reflected, blue light might have worked the best because the plant is an aquatic plant)


-white light did less photosynthesis than blue light (white light has all the colors; white light then has blue, so white light should have done as well as blue; white light could also use red light to make more)(the reason the result is funky is that there was slightly different amounts of algae)



Here's a pic:
