An investigation to the affect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis.
Aim
To investigate the effect of changing light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis.
Background
Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy and chemical energy and storing it in the sugar. This process occurs in plants. Plants need only water and carbon dioxide to make sugar. The process photosynthesis is taken place in the chlorophyll.
The equation of photosynthesis is shown below:
Carbon Dioxide + Water ____sunlight_____> glucose + oxygen
CO2 H2O Chlorophyll C6H 12O 6 O2
The factors that effect intensity are:
1. The amount of water because it is a vital part of the process.
2. The amount of light because this gives energy...
