Type of organism that algae are classified as

Protist

How photosynthesis rate is measured in algae

By tracking CO₂ level changes

pH indicator used in the experiment

What happens to pH when algae photosynthesize more

pH increases

Independent variable in this experiment

Algal density (number of algal balls)

Dependent variable in this experiment

pH of the solution

Number of algal balls in control vial A

0 (water only)

Why vials must be equal distance from light source

Light intensity affects photosynthesis rate

Location of light-dependent stage of photosynthesis

Expected pH trend as algal density increases

Greater pH increase
