The Effect of Temperature on the Rate of Photosynthesis Jas Singh 10D In all plants, a process called photosynthesis takes place. Photosynthesis is the process where by light energy is converted to chemical energy. It makes sugars and the by-product oxygen from CO2 and water, using the energy of sunlight. Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts. Here are the word and symbol equations for the process: Carbon Dioxide + Water Gluecose + Oxygen 6CO2 + 6H20 C6H12O6 + 6O2 In my investigation, I am going to investigate the effect of temperature on the rate of photosynthesis. The plant I am gong to use is pondweed. Prediction: I believe that the temperature surrounding the plant will have a significant effect on the rate of photosynthesis. I believe this because temperature affects all chemical reactions, and that photosynthesis should be no exception. I think that the rate of photosynthesis will steadily increase to begin with until around 30°C, where...
