Rate of Photosynthesis Calculator

🌿 Photosynthesis & respiration. Use the Rate of photosynthesis (bubbles) formula to find rate, bubbles counted, time: pick the value you want, type the others, and the answer updates as you go.

rate=bubbles of oxygentime\text{rate} = \dfrac{\text{bubbles of oxygen}}{\text{time}}
Rate24 bubbles/min

Pick the ○ next to the value you want to find, fill in the others, and it solves as you type.

Worked example

Find the rate when Bubbles counted = 48, Time = 2 min.

Using rate = (bubbles of oxygen)/time: Rate = 24 bubbles/min.

Frequently asked questions

What is the formula for Rate of photosynthesis (bubbles)?

rate = (bubbles of oxygen)/time.

What do the letters stand for, and what units are used?

Rate in bubbles/min, Bubbles counted, Time in min.

How do you calculate rate?

Put the values into rate = (bubbles of oxygen)/time. For example, with Bubbles counted = 48, Time = 2 min, rate = 24 bubbles/min.

Can I solve for a different value?

Yes. In the calculator above, pick the circle next to any value (rate, bubbles counted, time) and fill in the others: it rearranges the formula for you.
