Question: how to calculate the gross rate of photosynthesis?
Answer: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATPs + heat) Page 3 Experiment B-10 Photosynthesis Ver 3.2.7 3 The rate of photosynthesis can be expressed as either gross or net rates. Gross photosynthesis is the total rate of carbon fixation (reduction of CO2) without considering that some of the CO2 is lost in respiration.
