AP Biology Lab Question

<p>AP Biology Lab #12: Bottle with 0 screens was exposed to 100% light. Bottle wrapped in foil- 0% light. Which one had algae photosynthesizing and which one had cells undergoing respiration</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Haven't done this lab yet, but no doubt the one exposed to light was photosynthesizing, and the 0% light was not.</p>

<p>Yeah, but the 0% light could be undergoing the calvin cycle, which is light independent reaction, but still considered a process of photosynthesis. </p>

<p>Conversely, algae exposed to light can also be going through respiration. </p>

<p>However, if the question means the algae had no light exposure for a long time, then it will be only going through respiration. Bottle with 0% would have the photosynthetic activity, but also would be going through respiration.</p>
