Experiment: The Effect of Light Intensity On the Rate of Photosynthesis Introduction Photosynthesis is the process in which plants create simple forms of sugar known as glucose. The plants use the food that is made from this process in respiration and many other things that can help the plant. These include producing cellulose for cells and when glucose is combined with nitrates in the soil they can react together to make proteins. Respiration is where food molecules are broken down to release the chemical energy which is 'locked up' inside by using the light energy from the sun. For this useful product of glucose to be made from photosynthesis, plants must have three materials to begin with. The raw materials required are water, light energy and carbon dioxide. The chlorophyll, which is found in the chloroplasts, absorbs the light energy which is then be utilised in photosynthesis. Photosynthesis can be written as a...
