Aim: To find out what factors affect the rate of photosynthesis. Rate being the amount of photosynthesis produced per minute. Variables: Equation for Photosynthesis: Representing sunlight Co2 + H2O Glucose, ATP and O2 - Temperature. Because Photosynthesis is an enzyme based reaction and enzymes dependant on the temperature. As we know, enzymes work better when the temperature increases, and they can be frozen if the temperatures are too low. However, when the temperature is too high, the enzymes could denature and therefore the plant would die and no photosynthesis would occur at all. - Light intensity, Because sunlight is needed for photosynthesis to occur. Sunlight is needed for the plant to turn into food. This process is Photosynthesis, so without Sunlight, there is no photosynthesis. So then this basically means if u give the plant more sunlight (higher light intensity), there is more photosynthesis to make more food. -...
