How does light intensity affect the photosynthesis of a Canadian water weed? Photosynthesis happens in all types of plants, whether on land or in the water. Photosynthesis is a process that plants use every minute in order to survive. They create the food that they need from Carbon Dioxide and Water. Here is the full, balanced chemical equation; Carbon Dioxide + Water Oxygen + Glucose CHLOROPHYLL Or the chemical equation: 6CO2 + 6H2O 6O2 + C6H12O6 With these equations, we are going to see that at what rates photosynthesis happens in this Elodea. We intend to use bulbs, to provide the 'sunlight' for our Elodea, if we use any kind of filter, then we would use a blue filter, red filter and yellow. We would not use the green filter, as that would turn the light green. If we turn the light green then the green chlorophyll would reflect the light. We would...
