Investigation on How the Amount of Light Affects Photosynthesis Aim In this investigation I hope to find out how the amount of light affects photosynthesis. Plan 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. The fact that all plants need light in order to photosynthesise has been proven many times in experiments, and so it is possible to say that without light, the plant would die. I am saying this because in photosynthesis the carbon dioxide and water convert, using light energy, to form glucose and oxygen. Chlorophyll, which is the green pigment present in the chloroplasts, stores the carbon dioxide and the light energy allows the process to happen Before I start my plan I would like to indicate that all green...
