Science Investigation: Factors That Affect the Rate of Photosynthesis Planning: Preliminary Work --> Plan A Aim: The aim of our investigation is to find out how the factor, light intensity affects the rate of photosynthesis. Prediction: ·I think that when the light source is closer to the plant, the rate of photosynthesis will be quicker. (Ref: 'Biology for You'). · I also think that the rate of photosynthesis will increase steadily until a certain point. (Ref: 'Biology for You'). Hypothesis: ·The rate of photosynthesis will be quicker when the light source is near because all plants have chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is like an enzyme. They capture sunlight for photosynthesis. All enzymes work best in warm temperature but not when hot. If the temperature is too hot, the enzyme will be destroyed and no longer able to photosynthesize. · The rate of photosynthesis increases proportional to the light intensity until a certain point because it'll be the carbon...
