Planning an Experimental Procedure To Investigate the Effect of Temperature On the Rate of Photosynthesis in Canadian Pond Weed The purpose of the experiment is to find out how the effect of temperature will alter the rate of photosynthesis. What will happen with an increase of carbon dioxide, upon the rate of photosynthesis, when a certain amount of sodium hydro carbonate is added? Predicted Outcome During the experiment I predict that, as the temperature gradually rises, the rate of photosynthesis will also rise which will result in more oxygen being given off. As the temperature reaches 50oC - 60oC, I think the enzymes will start to breakdown and denature. This will result in photosynthesis decreasing, so therefore there will be a reduction in oxygen given off. Oxygen will be released until photosynthesis has completely finished. Hence between the temperatures of 100C and 600C there will be definite signs of an increase in oxygen...
