Biology Coursework: The effects of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) on the rate of photosynthesis Hypothesis: As you increase the concentration of Carbon Dioxide, this results in an increase in the rate of photosynthesis. Introduction and Background: An overall and common equation for photosynthesis is: Light Energy 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 carbon + water in the presence glucose + oxygen dioxide of chlorophyll (B1) The process of photosynthesis transfers light energy into chemical potential energy of organic molecules. It is the fixation of carbon dioxide and its subsequent reduction to carbohydrate (glucose), using hydrogen from water. Leaf structure (B1) * The Palisade Mesophyll is the main site of photosynthesis. There are more chloroplasts here than there are in Spongy Mesophyll. * Palisade cells show many adaptations of gaseous exchange.> Palisade cells are cylindrical shaped. They pack together with long narrow air spaces between them giving a large surface area of the contact between...
