Prediction The prediction which was made before carrying out an experiment to find out how light intensity affects photosynthesis goes as follows; "Doubling the surface of the plant will double the amount of photosynthesis. And if the amount of light intensity is doubled, the amount of photosynthesis doubles, until photosynthesis cannot go any faster for that surface area or amount of light. The rate of increase will then slowly decrease until it's constant." There are four factors which affect the rate of photosynthesis. These are illustrated below; * Temperature * Concentration of Carbon Dioxide * Light Intensity * Water Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants trap light energy from the Sun. This energy is then used to produce a series of chemical reactions in the plant, which then lead to the formation of carbohydrates. These occur in the form of glucose, which provide basic food for both plants and animals. Photosynthetic pigments are the pigments within the plant which are...
