Aim: Does light intensity affect photosynthesis? Background Information: Photosynthesis means "making through light" and occurs in the cells of green plants, which are exposed to light. The word equation for photosynthesis is: Light Carbon Dioxide + Water Glucose + Oxygen Chlorophyll Although most of the glucose produced is converted into insoluble starch for storage in the stem, leaves or roots, some is used immediately by the plant to provide via respiration. There are three things which limit the rate of photosynthesis, which are temperature, carbon dioxide concentration and light intensity. This is shown as when the temperature, carbon dioxide concentration and light intensity increases, so does the rate of photosynthesis. Prediction: I think that at high light intensity the rate of photosynthesis will increase because, as shown in my background information, as light intensity increases, so does the rate of photosynthesis. I also think at low light intensity the rate of photosynthesis will decrease. I...
