An Investigation Into How Light Intensity Affects The Rate Of Photosynthesis Introduction I am aiming to research my theory the when light intensity increases on a plant, photosynthesis will also increase at a directly proportional rate, in contrast to the light. Photosynthesis is the operation in which a plant collects sunlight (or any other light) and traps it in chlorophyll, and is used in the manufacture of a carbohydrate from carbon dioxide and water. This process can be summarized by the equation below: CO2 + H2O -> (light energy) -> CH2O + O2 Or Carbon Dioxide + Water -> (light energy) -> Carbohydrate + Oxygen Light is a source of energy. During photosynthesis, the light photochemically splits water. This provides hydrogen atoms for the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2). # Prediction I predict that the more light intensity that a plant endures, the more photosynthesis will occur. I think this because photosynthesis can increase, and the more light that falls...
