BIO 197 M3 L1 Gizmo Simulation Lab Photosynthesis HONORS 2020

What did you eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner yesterday? Imagine that your body made its own food, internally. Sound crazy? Plants do this all the time. Plants make their own food in a process called photosynthesis. In photosynthesis, plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide (CO2), and water (H2O) to make sugars, which provide them with the energy they need to live as well as the raw materials they need to grow. As a byproduct of photosynthesis, plants produce and release oxygen (O2). A. Photosynthesis and Light Intensity 1. In the Gizmo™, observe the aquatic plant. During photosynthesis, the plant produces oxygen, which is visible as bubbles leaving the plant. Set the Light intensity to 0%. (To quickly set a slider to a specific value, type the number in the field to the right of the slider and press Enter.) Check that the Temperature slider is set to 30.0°C and the CO2 level is set to 500ppm. Then select the BAR CHART tab
