Rate of Photosynthesis Introduction I am going to perform an experiment to test the rate of photosynthesis for different light intensities. Photosynthesis is performed by plants only. It is the process they use to create glucose, the food that all living things consume, from sunlight. It occurs in the green cells of plants in the palisade layer of the leaf. The chemical equation for photosynthesis is sunlight 6CO2+6H2O C6H12O6+6O2 chlorophyll CO2 is carbon dioxide, which the plant will take from the air via the leaves. H2O is water, which the plant takes up through the roots. C6H12O6 is glucose, the food the plant will burn when it respires. O2 is oxygen, and although this is used during respiration enough of it is produced for there to be surplus amount, which secondary consumers (i.e. herbivores) can then use to respire (whilst they eat the plants). All living things perform respiration and it takes place in every...
