Description

Photosynthesis is one of the energy transformations that occur within the cell. The energy from light is converted to chemical energy which is used to synthesize glucose. In this experiment, you can evaluate and analyze the effect of 5 different parameters on the rate of photosynthesis. The parameters are; light intensity, chlorophyll concentration, wavelength of light, carbon dioxide concentration, and temperature.
