Answer the problem at the top and the questions at the bottom
Name: PD: Date: PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND TEMPERATURE Introduction: Many things affect the rate (speed) at which photosynthesis occurs: the amount of light (light intensity), the temperature, and the amount of carbon dioxide are a few factors. Scientists know that temperature affects the speed of chemical reactions. Photosynthesis is a series of chemical reactions. Scientists did an experiment on aspen trees to see how the rate of photosynthesis was affected by increasing temperature. They determined the speed of photosynthesis by measuring how much carbon dioxide was taken in to be used in photosynthesis. Problem: What happens to the rate of photosynthesis as temperature is increased? The data in the table below were collected. Temperature C Carbon Dioxide used per second 10 8 15 12 20 16 25 20 30 24 35 28 40 21 45 14 50 55 Graph the data: Graph the data on the next page. The manipulated/independent variable is Label the x-axis. The responding/dependent variable is • Label the y-axis. Connect the data points with straight lines.
