Emma Lazarus 10Y1 10/PLR Poorly Pondweed Questions 1) How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis? 2) How does temperature affect the rate of photosynthesis? sunlight carbon dioxide + water -->-->-->-->-->--> glucose + oxygen chlorophyll sunlight 6CO2 + 6H2O -->-->-->-->-->--> C6H12O6 + 602 chlorophyll Prediction I predict that the more intense the light, the higher the rate of photosynthesis. To photosynthesise, plants need light. It provides the energy for the process to happen. Chlorophyll is an enzyme and it speeds up the reaction. If a plant does not get enough of either of these things, photosynthesis will not happen as quickly, if at all. Therefore, I predict that when the light is not very intense we will not see so many bubbles being produced. This is because the plant will not have so much energy (derived from light) to activate photosynthesis. All reactions require a certain activation energy, and if this is not reached the...
