An experiment to see how light intensity affects the photosynthesis of a plant. Introduction The aim of this experiment is to determine whether or not the intensity of light will affect the rate of photosynthesis in a plant. In order to do this, I will place pondweed in different light intensities, and observe the amount of oxygen that is given off. Hypothesis I predict that as the intensity of light increases, so will the rates of photosynthesis. Furthermore, if the light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis will increase at a steady rate until a certain 'peak' is reached, and then the rate will no longer increase. Photosynthesis will only occur in the presence of light. It takes place in the chloroplasts of green plant cells. It can be defined as the production of simple sugars from carbon dioxide and water, which causes the release of sugar and oxygen. The chemical equation...
