Today in Mr. Wong's bio class, we did a lab relating to leaf photosynthesis. To learn about it, see a higher up blog post. While doing this lab, I learned about many factors affecting photosynthesis. Here they are.
1. Light levels.
Light is a necessary object in photosynthesis. All leaves need some sort of light to create glucose. This can even be a flashlight! The whole point of the lab was to get leaves to rise from under water, and they would only rise with light.
2. Type of plant.
I did this activity in a group. Each of us had different types of plants wit different looking leaves. Some leaf bits rose, and others stayed at the bottom of the cup. In one specific type of leaf, zero leaf bits rose. This really shows how plant species affects photosynthesizing.
There are way more factors than this affecting photosynthesis. These are just the two major ones I witnessed and learned about today in Mr. Wong's biology class.
