How light intensity affects the rate of photosynthesis The aim of my experiment was to determine whether intensity of light would affect the rate of photosynthesis in a plant. To do this, I placed a piece of elodea in varying light intensities, and observed the amount of oxygen being given off. I used elodea because it gives off bubbles from a cut end of a stem. Plan Photosynthesis occurs only in the presence of light, and takes place in the chloroplasts of green plant cells. Photosynthesis is the production of sugar from carbon dioxide and water causing the release of sugar and oxygen. It is a chemical reaction and the chemical equation for it can be written as: Carbon Dioxide + Water ==> Glucose + Oxygen 6CO2 + 6H2O ==> C6H12O6 + 6O2 The chloroplasts in the cells take in the Carbon Dioxide and water and by using sunlight, convert it into glucose and oxygen....
