High School Photosynthesis

Design an experiment to test the effect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis in plants.

• Measure the growth of plants in different soil types.

• Use a light meter to measure light intensity and count oxygen bubbles produced by aquatic plants.

• Compare the color of leaves in different light conditions.

• Measure the temperature of plants under different light sources.

Compare and contrast the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

• Both processes occur in the mitochondria.

• Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy, while cellular respiration converts chemical energy into usable energy.

• Both processes release oxygen as a byproduct.

• Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are identical processes.
