Calculate the rate of photosynthesis (mm/hr) for Elodea if when measuring net photosynthesis, the water level moved up 3 mm from the initial level in 20 min, and when measuring cellular respiration it took 15 minutes for the water level to move down 1 mm.

The rate of photosynthesis is 13 mm/hr

Explanation:

The rate of net photosynthesis is given by;

rate of net photosynthesis = 3 mm / 20 min = 1.5 mm/ 10 min

The rate of  cellular respiration is given by;

rate of cellular respiration = 1 mm / 15 min = 0.667 mm / 10 min

The rate of photosynthesis is given by;

rate of photosynthesis = rate of net photosynthesis + rate of cellular respiration

rate of photosynthesis = 1.5 mm/ 10 min + 0.667 mm / 10 min

rate of photosynthesis =2.167 mm/ 10 min

Therefore, the rate of photosynthesis is 13 mm/hr

the relative standard reduction potential of the half-cell in which reduction occurs; more positive than the other half-cell. reduction is a chemical process in which electrons are added to an atom or an ion; it always occurs accompanied by oxidation of the reducing agent.
