How Does Light Intensity Affect Oxygen Production. This seems to be the overall result since we observed an increase in O 2. Move the Light intensity slider back and forth. The effect of light intensity followed a Michealis-Menten curve where increases in light intensity corresponded to increases in oxygen production until a peak in oxygen production occurred at a light intensity of 6000 lux. Record The Starting And Ending Oxygen Values.
How does CO2 level affect oxygen production. Furthermore I predict that if the light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis will increase at a proportional rate and more oxygen will be produced and therefore the oxygen levels will increase. When we think of photosynthesis as a process we can see that there are at least three things that can limit the process. The fact that no gas was produced while the setup was kept in the dark showed that light was the cause of the production of oxygen. Oxygen is a waste product. Light water and carbon dioxide.
Move the Light intensity slider back and forth.
Why would it be hard to find the ideal light intensity if the temperature were very hot or cold. Support for our alternate hypothesis which states that light intensity has an effect on O 2 production in C. Chlorella a single celled green algae like all photoautotrophs. However the lower the light intensity. Experiment with the vertical Temperature slider upper left and the CO2 level slider. The effect of light intensity followed a Michealis-Menten curve where increases in light intensity corresponded to increases in oxygen production until a peak in oxygen production occurred at a light intensity of 6000 lux.
