A student investigated the effect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis in pondweed by measuring the volume of oxygen gas produced.
Table 1 shows the results of this investigation.
Table 1
| Light intensity (kilolux) | Volume of oxygen produced in 10 minutes (mm3\text{mm}^3mm3) |
|---|---|
| 2.0 | 8 |
| 4.0 | 15 |
| 6.0 | 24 |
| 8.0 | 32 |
| 10.0 | 39 |
| 12.0 | 45 |
Describe the effect of light intensity on the volume of oxygen produced. Use values from Table 1 in your answer.
