Photosynthesis Gizmo Questions and Answers 100% Pass Where is oxygen produced in plants, bacteria, and some protists How does light intensity affect oxygen production? the higher the light intensity is to a certain point the more the oxygen is produced (~40%) How does temperature affect oxygen production? when it's too high or too low there's no oxygen production (~25^o c) How does CO2 level affect oxygen production? if there's no CO2 there's no oxygen production(~400ppm) How does oxygen production relate to the rate of photosynthesis? A greater flow of oxygen corresponds to a higher rate of photosynthesis The best oxygen production Temp: Light intensity: CO 2 level Oxygen production: 23-25^o C 79-90 1000ppm 51.8 How does the color of light affect the rate of photosynthesis? different pigments in chloroplasts absorb different wavelengths for use in photosynthesis What colors are best absorbed by a plant? purple, blue, orange, and red What colors are absorbed the worst? green and yellow When we look at a leaf, we see colors of light that are reflected off its surface. How does this explain the relatively low flow of oxygen in green light? the plant is reflecting the green light instead of absorbing the needed light
