Problem Find out the effect of different light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis. Hypothesis I think the rate of which photosynthesis occurs depends not only on the light intensity but also on the amount of carbon dioxide a plant receives and its temperature. If the plant is given more light, carbon dioxide, water or a higher temperature then it may be able to photosynthesise at a faster rate. However, the rate of photosynthesis will eventually reach a maximum because there is not enough of one of the other factors needed. In this experiment I think if the light intensity is increased, the rate of photosynthesis increases for a while, but then stops because of the limiting factors. The equation of photosynthesis backs up my theory: As you can see from the equation that light, water, carbon dioxide is needed for photosynthesis to occur. If any of these factors were limited then those would...
