Does raising the light intensity increase the rate of photosynthesis? :: Biology

Does raising the lighten intensity increase the rate of photosynthesis?Aim To see if raising the light intensity increases the rate ofphotosynthesis.PredictionI predict that raising the light intensity will increasethe rate of photosynthesis. I think this because light is the intimatelyimportant thing needed for photosynthesis. I then think that the rateof photosynthesis will stay the same when it reaches a certain point.I think this because the kit and boodle may use up all of the carbon dioxide(Sodium hydro carbonate) and the lay down can have as much light as itneeds but if it does non have any carbon dioxide it will not be ableto photosynthesise. The temperature also has to be right. If it is toohot the enzymes will be destroyed and the plant will not be able tophotosynthesise. The temperature and the amount of carbon dioxide arecalled the limiting factors.I think a graph of the results would look like this appliance list* Piece of weed* Paperclip* Sodium hydro carbonate* Wa ter* Test tube* Beaker* Lamp* Stopwatch* Scissors* Spatula* Meter Rule* Glass rod cell* Measuring CylinderDiagramMethod1. Collect the equipment on the equipment list.2. Darken the room, so that the plant cannot use light for photosynthesising from other places.3. Cut a patch of weed that is about 5 cm long.4. Put a spatula measure of sodium hydro carbonate in a test tube with 40ml cold exploit water and stir. This provides the plant with enough CO2 to photosynthesise.5. Fill a 1000ml beaker with 700ml water and put the test tube into it. This will act as heat test from the lamp, so that the temperature will not affect the experiment.6. Put the weed in the test tube with the cut end facing upwards.7. Put the lamp 10cm away phase the beaker and switch on.8. Leave the weed to adjust to the conditions for 1 minute.9. Time one minute and count the bubbles coming out of the cut end of the leaf for 1 minute.10. Record the results in a table.11. Then do the whole experiment 3 times for accuracy, then find the average and record in your table.12. Do the whole experiment 6 times for 20cm, 30cm, 40cm, 50cm, and 60cm away from the lamp. Fair Test To make this a fair test I will not let any of thevariables change apart from the light intensity because this is part
