An Investigation into how light intensity affects the rate of photosynthesis The aim of this activity is to observe and justify how the amount of light intensity exposed to a plant affects the amount of photosynthesis the plant performs. I am trying to investigate the affect of light intensity on photosynthesis on a plant. My hypothesis is that as the light intensity on the plant increases, the photosynthesis the plant performs will also rise proportionally. However I also hypothesize that when a certain level of light intensity is reached, the rate of increase will itself decrease. At this point temperature may become a limiting factor, which there is no control of. I think this will happen because my scientific research shows that the formula for photosynthesis is:- 6CO2 + 6H2O +light = C6H12O6 + 6O2 Carbon Dioxide + Water + LIGHT = Glucose + Oxygen Light is needed along with Chlorophyll to create a chemical...
