PHOTOSYNTHESIS INTRODUCTION: In this coursework I'm going to investigate the factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis, but first am going to explain: 1. What photosynthesis is? 2.What the rate of photosynthesis is? 3.And list the factors that affect photosynthesis. The aim of my experiment was to see 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 …showed first 75 words of 1031 total…

…showed last 75 words of 1031 total…be the same each time at a particular distance. Therefore, any inaccuracies in measuring the distances, i.e. if a distance was slightly different when doing the actual experiment from the distance at which I earlier measured the light intensity, an error would ensue. The second major inaccuracy was in measuring the volume of oxygen given off.So if i had a better equiepment to use I would of had a better and accutate results.
