How does Light Intensity Affect the Rate of Photosynthesis? Plan: We are going to find out whether light intensity affects the rate of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process where plants make their food. To make food by photosynthesis, plants need light (and chlorophyll to absorb it) carbon dioxide and water. Glucose is produced as the plant's food from this process and oxygen is given off as a waste product. The equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2. The amount of light, carbon dioxide and water will affect the rate at which photosynthesis occurs. They affect the rate because if for example there is lots of carbon dioxide but a small amount of light, lots of the carbon dioxide would be wasted because the amount of light and carbon dioxide has to be equal for a reaction to take place. The purpose of this investigation is to find...
