1. Based on the data, what color of light results in the fastest rate
of photosynthesis? Propose an explanation for these results.
A Colorless light results in the fastest rate of photosynthesis. The more bubbles that there were the higher amounts of photosynthesis is happening.

Affect of Light Level on Photosnythesis: Set the simulator
to colorless light CO2 level to 6.0. Make adjustments to
the level of light to complete the data table.

2. Based on the data, what light level results in the fastest rate of photosynthesis? Propose an explanation for these results.
Based on the data, 10.0 results in the fastest rate of photosynthesis. This is because there are more bubbles.
Affect of CO2 Levels in Photosynthesis:
Develop an experiment to test how the level of CO2 affects the rate of photosynthesis. Construct a data table in the space below. that shows the data you collected. Make sure to include information such as the color of light, light intensity, level of CO2 and the amount of bubbles produced. (Use the previous experiments as a guide
4. Based on the simulation experiments, what factors can affect the rate of photosynthesis in a plant? How do you know?
5. Write the equation for photosynthesis.

6. What are the bubbles you are measuring in this lab? Why do the bubbles tell you how fast photosynthesis is occurring?
The bubbles that I'm measuring in this lab are from Carbon Dioxide. Besides the bubbles tell me how fast photosynthesis is happening depending on how many CO2 , sugars , H2o ,ect.
7. Why is it important that you keep two variables constant (such as light level and color) while you're testing how a third variable (CO2 Level) affects
photosynthesis?
It is important to maintain both variables constant so then, you will be able to have a more accurate answerbesides you will appreciate better the difference between the experiments.
8. What settings can you put the simulator on to get the MAXIMUM rate of photosynthesis?
More CO2 as well the amount of light will give me more results of a maximum photosynthesis.
