Does raising the light intensity increase the rate of photosynthesis?
Content: I predict that raising the light intensity will increase
the rate of photosynthesis. I think this because light is the most
important thing needed for photosynthesis. I then think that the rate
of photosynthesis will stay the same when it reaches a certain point. I think this because the plant may use up all of the carbon dioxide
(Sodium hydro carbonate) and the plant can have as much light as it
needs but if it does not have any carbon dioxide it will not be able
to photosynthesise. The temperature also has to be right. If it is too
hot the enzymes will be destroyed and the plant will not be able to
photosynthesise. The temperature and the amount of carbon dioxide are
called the limiting factors. I think a graph of the results would look like this: Apparatus list: * Piece of weed
* Paperclip
* Sodium hydro carbonate
* Water
* Test tube
* Beaker
* Lamp
* Stopwatch
* Scissors
* Spatula
* Meter Rule
* Glass Rod
* Measuring Cylinder
