Investigating the effect of chlorophyll : use plant with vegitated leaves (some parts don't have chlorophyll) ,
starch test




Products of photosynthesis Investigating the rate of photosynthesis :




·




Glucose used as a source of respiration
-




Changing temperature (maintaining with hot plate water bath)
energy
is in or




Converting glucose Changing light
·




transport intensity (distance to light source
-




into s u cros e for


Converting glucose into starch
storage
·




:
for


lipids for an
energy store in seeds


Cellulose to make cell walls


↳ Amino
acids to make proteins when combined with


nitrogen & other mineral ions absorbed by roots -
lots of Carbon




Limiting Factor :
Something present in the environment in such


short that it restricts life processes
supply
·



Water not considered factor because the amount needed amount of water transpired from
is a
limiting is
relatively small compared to the



a plant .
There is
hardly ever a situation where there's not enough water for photosynthesis



Temperature :




As temperature the rate of
increases , photosynthesis increases as the reaction is
enzyme
controlled


After a certain point ,
the
enzymes begin
to denature and the rate of
photosynthesis decreases
