Investigating the effect of Light Intensity on Elodea Aim: The aim of my experiment is to determine whether or not the intensity of light would affect the rate of photosynthesis in a plant. To do this I will place different pieces of Elodea (pondweed) into a beaker and expose it to varied light intensities, and observe the amount of oxygen given off by the plant. Introduction: Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy into chemical energy and storing it in the bonds of sugar. Photosynthesis occurs only in the presence of light, and takes place in the chloroplasts of green plant cells. Photosynthesis can be defined as the production of simple sugars from carbon dioxide and water causing the release of sugar and oxygen.
