Photosynthesis - Science Coursework Task: To experiment with different variables that effect photosynthesis using a computer simulation, and take measurements accordingly. Prediction: I predict that firstly the increased temperature will generate more oxygen, however this will only apply to a certain degree, probably around 35?C to 40?C in my opinion, where I think the equation will be at its optimum heat capacity. And for the additional experiment, I think that an increased in Carbon dioxide levels will again produce greater amounts of Oxygen. Lastly, a higher light intensity, in my opinion will produce increased levels of Oxygen because as the formula states sunlight is essential for the reaction to take place, therefore it is likely the greater this is the more Oxygen is produced. Method: We first decided to find out how the temperature affects the rate of photosynthesis. Using the computer simulation, we tested from 0?C to 50?C, at 5?C intervals. All other variables...
