write your full name Cell Energy Simulation You will be examining photosynthesis and cell respiration in a fish tank by analyzing the amount of dissolved oxygen. Click here for the Cell Energy Simulation at Biology simulations Website Background: Plants perform both photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Animals only perform cell respiration. 1. Fill in the correct reactants and products for the photosynthesis reaction. 6 H2O + 6 CO2---> C6H12O6+ 6O2 2. In a fish tank, how will photosynthesis affect the dissolved oxygen levels? Will it increase, decrease, or have no affect the amount of oxygen in the tank? Please answer using a complete sentence. 3. Fill in the correct reactants and products for the cell respiration equation. C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6H2O + 6CO2 + ATP 4. In a fish tank, how will cell respiration affect the dissolved oxygen levels? Will it increase, decrease, or not affect the amount of oxygen in the tank? Please answer using a complete sentence. 5. Amount of Dissolved Oxygen With 3 Plants Procedure:1. Set the number of fish to 0.2. Set the number of plants to 3.3. Set light intensity to 100%.4. Set temperature to 25 degrees Celsius.5. Record the amount of dissolved oxygen in the tank on the table below. Amount of Dissolved Oxygen (DO) 10 minutes 20 minutes 30 minutes 40 minutes 50 minutes 60 minutes 3 Plants 6. What happened to the amount of dissolved oxygen when there are 3 plants and 0 fish in the fish tank? The amount of dissolved oxygen decreased. The amount of dissolved oxygen stayed the same. The amount of dissolved oxygen increased. 7. Amount of dissolved oxygen with 3 fish. Procedure:1. Set the number of fish to 3.2. Set the number of plants to 0.3. Set light intensity to 100%.4. Set temperature to 25 degrees Celsius.5. Record the amount of dissolved oxygen in the tank on the table below. Amount of Dissolved Oxygen (DO) 10 minutes 20 minutes 30 minutes 40 minutes 50 minutes 60 minutes 3 Fish 8. What happened to the amount of dissolved oxygen in the fish tank when there are 3 fish and 0 plants? The amount of dissolved oxygen decreased. The amount of dissolved oxygen stayed the same. The amount of dissolved oxygen decreased. 9. Amount of Dissolved Oxygen for fish and plants Graph the amount of dissolved oxygen for 60 minutes with 3 fish and with 3 plants. Use green to graph the plants and red to graph the fish. 10. How would you maintain a steady amount of oxygen in the fish tank? Check different plant and fish settings on the lab website and give an example of a plant fish combonation that would maintain a steady amount of dissolved oxygen in the tank.
