Photosynthesis Under Variable Environmental Conditions

Photosynthesis Under Variable Environmental Conditions Classroom/Laboratory Activity A simple simulator that allows users to change a range of variables such as the color of light, brightness of light, and carbon dioxide concentration, and then note their impact on the photosynthetic efficiency of a plant. Use this tool to help your students find answers to: What […]

Carbon Dioxide and Photosynthesis

Carbon Dioxide and Photosynthesis Reading An article in Nature Education Knowledge that describes the effect of elevated levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere on photosynthesis. This article describes how elevated levels of carbon dioxide causes an increased rate of photosynthesis, which is more pronounced in C3 plants. Students will learn about the different photosynthetic […]

Photosynthetic Pathways and Physiological Responses to Climate Change

Photosynthetic Pathways and Physiological Responses to Climate Change Overview As an undergraduate Biological Sciences teacher, you can use this set of computer-based tools to teach about differences in photosynthesis in different types of plants (C3, C4 and CAM) and how they are affected by climate change: which is more resilient or less resilient. You can […]
