An Investigation into the Effect of Temperature on the Rate of Photosynthesis Theory The aim of my experiment is to determine how temperature affects the rate of photosynthesis of the aquatic plant Elodea. Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction that takes place in the leaves of green plants building up food compounds from carbon dioxide and water, and using the energy from sunlight, which is absorbed by chlorophyll. The chemical equation for the reaction of photosynthesis is: - chlorophyll 6C02 + 6H20 --> C6H1206 + 602 Carbon water light glucose oxygen Dioxide energy produced released This reaction will take place in my experiment and the oxygen released will be measured using the technique of counting the number of oxygen bubbles released from the aquatic plant. Catalysts speed up many chemical reactions without being used up or changed. Inside living organisms, chemical reactions take place all the time with a specific enzyme controlling every reaction. Enzymes are biological catalysts...
