Introduction
Photosynthesis
is the process by which green plants and certain other
organisms transform light into chemical energy. In green
plants, light energy is captured by chlorophyll in the
chloroplasts of the leaves and used to convert water,
carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich
organic compounds (simple and complex sugars) that are
the basis of both plant and animal life. Photosynthesis
consists of a number of photochemical and enzymatic
reactions. Any acceleration in the process of
photosynthesis will naturally result in the production
of more organic compounds and consequently more plant
growth. For this reason we want to do a research on
factors affecting photosynthesis. |

Project
description
This is a combination of two different science projects both
related to photosynthesis. You can select either of these as
your project. In the first project you will research the effect
of Light, Carbon Dioxide, Water and temperature on the rate of
photosynthesis. (You
may not have enough tools to study the effect of all variables
in this project, so you may study at least two variables).
In the second project you will research the effect of different
parts of the light spectrum in photosynthesis. |
