How does the leaf's thickness affect the rate of photosynthesis?

Leaf thickness is largely due to the thickness of the palisade mesophyll layer. This is where the chloroplast is located and therefore the site area in light is absorbed for photosynthesis. Thicker leaves means more chloroplast, and thus a faster rate of photosynthesis.

How does enzyme action affect the rate of photosynthesis?
It increases the rate of photosynthesis or vice versa...
Does the plant type affect photosynthesis rate?
Yes, by quite a bit.
What are the factors affect photosynthesis?
The intensity of light, concentration of carbon dioxide and temperature are the three main factors that affect photosynthesis. They determine the rate at which photosynthesis occurs.
What affects the rate of photosynthesis?
The main variables which affect photosynthesis are light, CO2 concentration and temperature. You should be able to explain how each of these has their effect on the rate of photosynthesis. Although water is needed as a raw material for photosynthesis, if water is short, it will cause the plant to wilt (and thereby lose its ability to capture sunlight) long before it limits photosynthesis at the biochemical level. On a deeper level, other factors like amount of chlorophyll, availability of nutrients (eg Mg is needed for chlorophyll synthesis) will also affect the rate of photosynthesis, though these are rarely covered in discussion of this topic.

How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis?
Higher light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis and vice versa.more intense light means more energy in the light, so the chloroplasts get more energy from light, making photosynthesis go faster
How might the rate of photosynthesis be affected by increasing its thickness?
The rate of photosynthesis would be slowed down by increasing the thickness of a leaf. Leaves that are broad and thin offer the best conditions for the process.

How do different pigments colors affect the rate of photosynthesis?
The wavelength of a color is directly related to the rate of photosynthesis, with longer wavelengths leading to higher rates of photosynthesis.
How do spider mites affect the rate of photosynthesis?
The spider eat.
Does the plant type affect photosynthesis rate?
Yes, by quite a bit.
What factor would least effect upon the rate of photosynthesis in a plant?
The breathing rate of cats. Actually, wait, that might affect photosynthesis. Hmm...good question. If you think about, everything affects photosynthesis. Here is a better question: What DOESN'T affect photosynthsis?
What are some factors that could affect the amount of photosynthesis in a plant?
What abiotic factors could affect the rate of photosynthesis in a plant?
What are the factors photosynthesis?
The intensity of light, concentration of carbon dioxide and temperature are the three main factors that affect photosynthesis. They determine the rate at which photosynthesis occurs.
How might the rate of photosynthesis be affected by increasing the thickness of a leaf?
By increasing the thickness of a leaf the process of photosynthesis will become longer. This is because the sun has to penetrate through the leaf to the chloroplasts so that the chloroplasts can converge the sunlight into energy. If the thickness of the leaf is increased then the sunlight will take more time to penetrate through the leaf to reach the chloroplasts.

Thickness of liquid affect it's boiling rate?
the thicker a liquid is the longer it take to boil!
