Rate Plant Investigating Factor Acclimatise Oxygen Briefly Describe

To investigate how one factor affects the rate of photosynthesis, keep all conditions constant except one, suspend pond weed in water, allow it to acclimatise, and measure oxygen concentration using a data logger. The gradient of an oxygen concentration/time graph approximates the rate of photosynthesis.

Per investigare come un fattore influenzi la velocità della fotosintesi, mantenere costanti tutte le condizioni tranne una, utilizzare un'erba acquatica sospesa in acqua, lasciarla acclimatare, misurare la concentrazione di ossigeno con un data logger e registrare i cambiamenti. La pendenza del grafico della concentrazione di ossigeno nel tempo approssima la velocità della fotosintesi.

Front Briefly describe general method for investigating how one factor affects rate of photosynthesis.
Back Investigating factor affecting rate of photosynthesis:
  • Keep all conditions constant except one
  • Pond weed plant suspended in water
  • Allow plant to acclimatise
  • Measure oxygen concentration using a data logger, record and change independent variable, at regular intervals, allowing plant to acclimatise each time
  • Draw graph of oxygen conc/time , gradient will be approximately the rate of photosynthesis
