Experiment to investigate the effect of different concentrations of Carbon Dioxide on the rate of photosynthesis. Introduction Photosynthesis is the main source of energy in all plants and by this route supplies energy to the whole ecosystem. Photosynthesis is a plant's way of creating food, the plant takes in carbon dioxide and water and using light energy (usually from the sun) the plant converts the carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Light + chlorophyll [image001.gif] 6CO[2] + 6H[2]0 C[6]H[12]O[6] + 6O[2] carbon dioxide + water sugar + oxygen The equation above shows the overall action of photosynthesis but represents the total of a number of different reactions going on. Photosynthesis takes place mainly in the leaves of a plant. Leaves are a good location for photosynthesis to take place because they have a large surface area for light absorption. Leaves are also thin allowing easy gas diffusion...
