4. Write out the balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis (no peeking!).
Sunlight energy + 6H201 + 6C1O2 —> 6O2 + C6H12O6
5. Based on the simulation experiments, what factors can affect the rate of photosynthesis in a plant?
The factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis are the amount of light, the color of the light, and the amount of carbon dioxide.
6. Compare and contrast the information gained from the experiment about the factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis with the information that you learned from the class.
There are differences and similarities about the factors (carbon dioxide and light) that affect the rate of photosynthesis. They’re similar because both increase the rate of photosynthesis when there’s more of …show more content…
What are the bubbles you are measuring in this lab? Why do the bubbles tell you how fast photosynthesis is occurring?
The bubbles are measuring how much oxygen the plant is producing based on the settings. The bubbles tell you how fast photosynthesis is occurring by the amount that are produced. The more bubbles, the faster photosynthesis is occurring and the less bubbles, the slower photosynthesis is occurring.
8. Why is it important that you keep two variables constant (such as light level and color) while you are testing how a third variable (CO2 level) affects photosynthesis?
It is important that you keep the two variables that you are not testing constant while testing the other variable to isolate the variable you are testing. This will show you how much the variable that you are testing affects photosynthesis. It will show you this because since you are keeping the other variables constant, then you can truly measure how the variable you are testing affects photosynthesis. You can do this by changing the amount of the variable that you are changing and isolating.
9. What settings can you put the simulator on to get the MAXIMUM rate of photosynthesis? How many bubbles are produced with these
