AN EXPERIMENT TO INVESTIGATE THE EFFECT OF LIGHT INTENSITY ON THE RATE OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Prediction As the light intensity increases, so the rate of photosynthesis will increase. The rate of photosynthesis should be directly proportional to the intensity of light directed, given that the other possible variables remain constant. There should be an optimum temperature above and below which the rate of photosynthesis will be lower. I expect that this temperature will be 30oC and therefore, this is the temperature at which the experiment will be conducted. I chose this temperature because the 25oC used in the trial did not produce the optimum conditions for production of oxygen. The oxygen is formed by the combining of carbon dioxide and water to make glucose and oxygen. The glucose is needed by the plant as a source of energy and the oxygen is just a waste product of this process. Carbon Dioxide + Water Glucose +...
