    The student analyzed data from two experiments: 1) Testing how sugar levels affect yeast respiration, finding carbon dioxide production increased with more sugar, matching expectations. 2) Examining how light intensity affects plant photosynthesis, observing more oxygen bubbles were produced closer to the light source, indicating light intensity influences photosynthesis rate. The conclusions drawn from both experiments were reasonable and supported by the data analysis.

    Environmental Science (A): Dry Lab 1.

    Student Name: Angelica Arellano-Yacelga

    Analyze Data and Draw Conclusions (40 points)

    1. In part 1, you collected data about how the amount of sugar affects the amount of

    gas produced. Analyze those data and draw a conclusion.

    a. What gas inflated the balloons?

    The gas that is inside the balloons is carbon dioxide, which causes them to inflate.

    b. Find the average circumference of the two balloons with each amount of sugar. Show
    your work.

    No sugar: 0+0=0

    There is no possible was for 0 to be divided in 2.

    The average is 0

    Some sugar: 8.5+7.5=16

    16 divided by 2 would be 8

    The average is 8

    More sugar: 10.5+11.5=22

    22 divided by 2 would be 11

    The average is 11
    d. What do your data tell you about how the amount of sugar affects the rate of cellular
    respiration performed by the yeast? Remember that a rate involves a change in amount
    over time. Does this answer make sense? Why or why not?

    Up to a degree, sugar quickens the rate of cellular respiration. It makes sense since the
    "pre-made" glucose doesn't require the yeast to transform the food it is fed into glucose.

    2. In part 2, you collected data about how the amount of light affects the amount of gas

    produced by a plant. Analyze those data and draw a conclusion.

    a. What gas did the bubbles formed by the plant contain?

    The gas that the bubbles formed by the plant contain was oxygen.

    b. Find the average number of bubbles at each distance from the light source. Show
    your work.

    Farthest: 24+30+28=78

    78 divided by 3 would be 26

    The average is 26

    Middle: 14+15+13=42

    42 divided by 3 would be 14

    The average is 14

    Closest: 5+7+6=18

    18 divided by 3would be 6

    The average is 6

    c. From the perspective of the plants, how did the characteristics of the light (color and
    intensity) vary with the distance from the light source? Explain your conclusions.
    Less gas is created the further the plant is from the sunlight source, where the
    brightness of the light wasn't as significant.

    d. What do your data tell you about how the intensity (amount) of light affects the rate
    of photosynthesis performed by the plant? Remember that a rate involves a change in
    amount over time. Does this answer make sense? Why or why not?

    The rate at which a plant converts light into energy depends on the intensity of the light
    and its proximity to the light source. It makes sense since it would seem reasonable to
    assume that getting closer to an energy source would result in a higher rate of energy
    replenishment.
