An experiment to show the relation between light intensity (voltage) and photosynthesis Introduction Photosynthesis takes places in the leaves of plants, mostly in the palisade layer of the leaf. Photosynthesis is the plants way of creating energy for itself(sugar), for growth, repair, storage and energy production. The test will be to find out the relationship between light intensity (voltage) and the rate of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is: Carbon dioxide + water + sunlight ---> oxygen + carbohydrate + water Or 6CO2 + 12H2O + sunlight ---> 6O 2 + C6 H12O 6 + 6H2 O Oxygen is a product of photosynthesis; therefore we will be measuring the amount or rate of this product being produced. Plan and Pulmonary test Prior to the official test I conducted a pulmonary test. This was so that I could identify any initial problems and work out how to resolve them. Some problems I encountered where; that the plant clearly took a few minutes...
