Biology Coursework: Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is the process of converting Carbon Dioxide and Water into Glucose. The by-product of this is oxygen. In this experiment that is what I am testing for, the more oxygen produced the larger the amount of oxygen that is produced. CO2 + Water Light Glucose + Oxygen Above is the formula for photosynthesis. The Chlorophylls and Carotenoids absorb light energy in the leaves. This energy is then used to convert Carbon Dioxide to a set of Carbohydrates (Glucose). This then provides immediate energy for the plant and any unused sugars are converted into starch and stored in the leaves for use at night or during a day where there is no light. This reaction takes place in the cytoplasm, at a certain point the cytoplasm will stop providing the chemical reaction needed to change the light, water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose. This is...
