Investigation To Measure How Temperature Affects The Rate Of Photosynthesis In Water Plants Photosynthesis is the method by which plants make oxygen and food (glucose). This is the equation for photosynthesis; Sunlight Carbon Dioxide + Water Glucose + Oxygen Chlorophyll OR Sunlight 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 Chlorophyll Four things that affect the speed of photosynthesis in plants are; 1. Concentration of Carbon Dioxide 2. Light Intensity 3. Temperature 4. Amount of Water If any one of these factors is not present then photosynthesis will not happen or will happen slower. Trial Experiment In order for us to check that we can do the experiment in this way we will conduct a trial experiment. We will cut a length of pond weed to 10cm and place it in a boiling tube. The end will be cut underwater so that the plant gets no air inside it. We will use a desk lamp to light the plant from 10cm away. The boiling tube...
