The Rate of Photosynthesis Aim The aim of this experiment is to determine how the presence of light and the intensity of it contribute to the rate of photosynthesis. To accomplish my aim, I will be measuring the rate of photosynthesis of Elodea, a Canadian water plant, under different levels of light intensity and observing the amount of oxygen given off. Introduction Photosynthesis is an organic reaction which plants use to make glucose from Carbon Dioxide, water and light. The equation to this process is: Carbon Dioxide + Water = Glucose + Oxygen 6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2 Photosynthesis is a very important process in nature. It is the production of energy, in the form of glucose, using water from the soil, carbon dioxide from the air and light energy. Oxygen is released during this reaction as the waste product. Photosynthesis takes place in all green plants,...
