How light intensity affects the rate of photosynthesis The aim of my experiment was to determine whether intensity of light would affect the rate of photosynthesis in a plant. To do this, I placed a piece of Canadian pondweed in varying light intensities, and observed the amount of oxygen being given off. I used Canadian pondweed because of its unusual quality of giving off bubbles of gas from a cut end, when placed in water. Introduction Photosynthesis occurs only in the presence of light, and takes place in the chloroplasts...

an average. To extend my enquiries into the rate of photosynthesis, I
could perhaps try to link in some of the other limiting factors to the
same experiment, as well as investigating them in their own right. It
could also be interesting to explore the effects of coloured lights on the
rate of photosynthesis, which could lead to the question of whether or not
other types of light, such as fluorescent lights or halogen lights, would
have a different effect on the rate of photosynthesis.
Introduction Photosynthesis is a process where plants make glucose food using sunlight as an energy source. The word equation for photosynthesis is Carbon dioxide + water glucose + oxygen Chemical is 6co g + 6h 0L c6h o L The factors that affect the...

According to the Oxford Concise Dictionary, the meaning of environment is defined as "physical surroundings and conditions, esp [ecially] as affecting people's lives". Over the year's we have come to find that our environment, and the natural resources, animals, plants and trees within them are not endless but...

Method Ten 50ml beakers were labelled accordingly, e.g. 2 x 0m, 2 x 0.25m, 2 x 0.5, 2 x 0.75 m and 2 x 1m. Distilled water and sugar solution were then measured to vary sugar concentration, into beakers using a pipette. Using a size 4 core borer, sections...

Planning: I am investigating the effect of increasing enzyme concentration on the rate of reaction. Prelimary work is very important and I conducted this before carrying out my final experiment. It is important because I need to find out which was the best vegetable to use,...
