Photosynthesis

• carbon dioxide + water -> glucose + oxygen

  6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2
• light intensity ∝ 1 / distance squared

  i ∝ 1 / d2
• Rate of photosynthesis

  • temperature
  • light intensity
  • CO2 concentration
• Photosynthesis experiment

  1. Using a gas syringe draw the bubbles of oxygen produced by the pondweed
  2. Calculate the length of the bubbles produced
