Algae Beads - Temperature and Algal Photosynthesis

Name: Algae Beads - Temperature and Algal Photosynthesis
Brand: Algae Research Supply
Availability: InStock

Students test how temperature changes the rate of algal photosynthesis by measuring pH indicator changes in algae bead vials under different thermal conditions. The investigation reinforces enzyme-mediated processes, environmental effects on metabolism, and evidence-based interpretation of reaction trends.
