Photosynthesis is the process where radiant energy of the sun is converted into energy of organic molecules. This process is responsible for present life on Earth because it provides food for all living things. Photosynthesis is only found in certain photosynthetic organisms; a few bacteria and plants. Plants produce oxygen as a “waste product” when they produce energy using light energy, water, and CO2. The equation for photosynthesis is “CO2+H2O+Energy--> (CH2O)n+O2, however, if this equation was read right to left, it would be respiration. Respiration mainly occurs within mitochondria in the cell, while photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast. Plants can perform photosynthesis and respiration while animals can only perform respiration and

Respiration mainly occurs within mitochondria in the cell, while photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast. Plants can perform photosynthesis and respiration while animals can only perform respiration and depend on plants for photosynthetic activity. When it comes to photosynthesis, three factors limit the rate of photosynthesis, temperature, light intensity, and CO2. In this lab, the rate of photosynthesis is tested against different light intensities as well as different wavelengths of
