Measuring the Rate of Photosynthesis

🌿 How Do We Measure Photosynthesis? 🌿

In this IB Biology video, we explore different methods to measure the rate of photosynthesis and analyze the factors that affect it. You’ll learn about:

✅ The photosynthesis equation – reactants & products 🌱
✅ How to measure reactant consumption (CO₂ & H₂O) and product production (O₂ & glucose)
✅ Limiting factors affecting photosynthesis: light intensity, CO₂ concentration, and temperature
✅ Experimental setups:
🔹 Photosynthometers & counting oxygen bubbles
🔹 Using digital probes to track oxygen & CO₂ changes
🔹 Using indicator solutions to measure pH shifts
✅ A discussion on FACE (Free-Air CO₂ Enrichment) experiments and their impact on plant growth in changing climates 🌎

This video is essential for IB Biology, AP Biology, and plant science students who want to understand experimental techniques in photosynthesis research!
