Photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and ecological output can all be studied using this program. Set the plant number to 0 to try the fish only. Set the fish to 0 to try only vegetation. Set the light level to 0 to monitor plant cellular respiration. The simulation will execute immediately whenever a variable is modified.
Aquatic plants, like land plants, engage in photosynthesis and internal metabolism. When marine autotrophs release oxygen as a result of photosynthesis, it dissolves in water. Dissolved oxygen can be detected directly to determine whether aquatic plants engage in photosynthesis or cellular respiration under various circumstances.
Finding a consistent supply of aquatic plants can be challenging because some species are only accessible periodically and others are invasive. As a result, for this novel exercise,We suggest Java moss (Vesicularia dubyana) or Christmas moss (Vesicularia montagnei), two watery aquaria-friendly aquatic bryophytes. As evidenced by our findings, Java moss experiences cellular respiration in the dark, resulting in a decrease in dissolved oxygen, and rapidly changes to photosynthesis when subjected to an LED or halogen plant light. Using this tough aquatic plant, students can simply adjust light levels to learn more about photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
