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.
