The Effects of Light Intensity on the Rate of the Light-Dependent Reactions of Photosynthesis in Chloroplasts Extracts of Spinach Leaves. Introduction: Photosynthesis is the process that converts energy in sunlight to chemical forms of energy that can be used by biological systems (Figure 1). Many different organisms, ranging from plants to bacteria, carry out photosynthesis. The photosynthetic process in plants and algae occurs in small organelles known as chloroplasts that are located inside cells. The photosynthetic …

…O2. Inaccuracies could also result from improper cleaning of the curvettes during the five-minute intervals. Photosynthesis is the basis for plant life, as we know it. It is important to know what effects or inhibits the growth of a plant. We now know the importance of chloroplasts, light, herbicides, and the Calvin cycle in regards to the photosynthetic process. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography** Literature Cited: Stern, K.R. 2000.
