Photosynthesis Coursework Introduction Background Information Glucose can be converted to sucrose and carried to other parts of the plant in phloem vessels. Glucose can also be converted into starch and stored Light Sometimes light is a limiting factor. A plant may have lots of water and carbon dioxide, but it will not photosynthesize very fast if there is not enough light; increasing the light intensity will make photosynthesis faster. Carbon dioxide Sometimes the level of carbon dioxide is limiting. There may be plenty of light but the plant cannot photosynthesize because it has run out of carbon dioxide. Temperature Temperature can be a limiting factor too. The rate of photosynthesis will be limited if it is too cold for the enzymes to work properly. Aim Investigate if light intensity affects the rate of oxygen production by photosynthesis in pond week. I have chosen to study light intensity because in a classroom it would be hard to monitor the other limiting...
