photosynthesis passport

The process of photosynthesis is essential for all life on Earth. Without this process, plants and other autotrophs would not be able to grow and the nutrients they provide to heterotrophs would not be available. Use the following resources to learn more about this important process.

Lab station resources

Use the lab simulator by clicking on the thermometer to adjust temperature and drag the slider to adjust the amount of light. Use the following procedures to collect data:

Part 1: The Effect of Light Intensity on Photosynthesis
  1. Set the Thermometer to 25 C and the Light Intensity to 0 Lumens.
  2. Press the START button
  3. For 20 seconds, count how many bubbles are produced by the plant
  4. Multiply the amount of bubbles by 3 to determine bubbles per minute
  5. Repeat steps 2-4 for the following Light Intensities: 1000, 2000, 3000
  6. Create a line graph

Part 2: The Effect of Temperature on Photosynthesis
  1. Set the Thermometer to 10oC and the Light Intensity to 2000.
  2. Set a timer for 20 seconds
  3. Count how many bubbles are produced by the plant
  4. Multiply the amount of bubbles by 3 to determine bubbles per minute
  5. Repeat steps 2-4 for the following Temperatures: 25 and 40
  6. Create a line graph
