From the results, it can be concluded that the level of photosynthesis depends on the level of energy the light carries, and its absorbency. The energy of the light is inversely proportional to the wavelength, so a long wavelength like red carries little energy but a short wavelength like blue carries a lot. But if this is true, then why does red appear as it does in Figure 7 when it carries the least energy? Well, this is because it is highly absorbed, so a lot of the light is taken in, and is not reflected. Whether or not the light is reflected matters far …show more content…
To ensure accurate results, these other factors were kept constant throughout the lab: temperature, concentration of NaHCO3, technique and apparatus. If the temperature was altered it would affect the rate of enzymes which control the reaction, and will make it faster or slower. Therefore, the concept of varying wavelengths becomes obsolete when it's dependant on several other factors. Also, if the concentration of NaHCO3 increased or decreased, it would affect the rate of photosynthesis, as all plants requires carbon dioxide in one form or another to
