Investigating the Rate of Photosynthesis Aim: My aim is to prove that a plant's photosynthesis rate is affected by its limiting factors. Plan: There are a number of limiting factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis these are; Carbon Dioxide levels, light intensity, amount of water and the amount of chlorophyll. My plan is to investigate how the amount of light affects the photosynthesis rate by increasing the distance between the light source and the plant. I have decided to use Canadian pondweed as it has a very high photosynthesis rate and will photosynthesize under water, which is crucial to our experiment; Canadian pondweed should give us the most reliable and accurate results. I will conduct this experiment using Canadian pondweed and I will vary the level of light to prove that the rate of photosynthesis is affected by the limiting factors. Hypothesis: Chlorophyll Carbon Dioxide + Water Glucose + Oxygen Light Energy The...
