The intensity of light is a factor which affects the rate of photosynthesis. Low light intensity would
produce a low rate of photosynthesis. An increase in light leads to a higher rate of
photosynthesis. Once the light intensity reaches 10 000 lux, the photosynthesis rate becomes
constant.

Red line = high light intensity
Blue line = low light intensity
Compare the rate of dissolve oxygen for both of the plant.
Why the both graph keep increasing? What is the effect of light intensity
towards the rate of photosynthesis? State the another factor that
influence the rate of photosynthesis?
The plant in the house is wilt while the plant in the backyard is healthy.
The color of the leaves of taro in the house turned to brownish after a few weeks while the taro in the backyard maintains its green color.
The stem of taro in the backyard is bigger and taller than the stem of taro in the house.
The results gain is more accurate rather than using manual method due to the same time interval
The experiment can be continued for many hours until the rate of photosynthesis reaching its optimum level. This experiment is almost impossible done by traditional method because students have to sit for many hours to count the O2 bubbles released by the elodea plant.
