The Gizmo Photosynthesis Lab is an interactive simulation that helps students understand the process of photosynthesis by manipulating various variables like light intensity, carbon dioxide levels, and temperature. The lab typically includes questions and activities to explore how these factors affect the rate of photosynthesis in plants. Students may be tasked with observing the effects of different light conditions on oxygen production or examining how temperature influences the process. The answer key for this lab usually provides correct answers to these questions, such as: higher light intensity and increased carbon dioxide levels tend to increase the rate of photosynthesis, while higher temperatures can either speed up or slow down the process depending on the plant species. The answer key may also include explanations about how these factors are interrelated within the photosynthesis equation (6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂).
