Investigate the Effect of Changing Light Wavelength on the Rate of Photosynthesis
Aim
To make a qualitive and quantitive analysis of the effect of changing the wavelength of light on photosynthesis in Canadian pondweed.
Variables
The following are the variables that will affect the results of the experiment, which ones are too be changed and which ones are to remain constant. The dependant variable is the one that will be measured e.g. the rate of photosynthesis. The independent variable is that which is deliberately changed during the experiment e.g. wavelength of light passing through to the plant. The others are all kept constant using various methods.
Variable Effect Variable Has On Results Method used to keep variable constant
CO2 Concentration The higher the concentration of CO2 in the solution surrounding the plant the more it will photosynthesis...
