Investigating the effect of light intensity on photosynthesis Prediction As the light intensity increases so will the rate of photosynthesis will increases also. This is because the more if light hit's the leaf more electrons are knocked out of the chlorophyll. This is replaced by a water electron, the water electron is then broken down by photolysis (H2O = H2 + O) this produces the oxygen given off by photosynthesis (6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6 O2). So the more light the more this will happen. Fair test I will make sure all another things will remain the same apart from the light intensity, I will use excess amounts of sodium hydrogen chloride to ensure the plan has enough CO2 at all times also use more than enough water for the same reason, however the things I cannot control like temperature or sunlight this I will take into account in my evaluation.
