If the pH is too acidic or too basic, the rate at which photosynthesis occurs will decrease. If the pH is just right for a specific plant (different plants work better at different pH levels), the rate will increase to an optimum point. This is because photosynthesis involves the operation of enzymes, which are affected by many factors, such as changes in pH.

yes, pH could affect the rate of photosynthesis as most enzyme reactions are pH sensitive. However, it should be remembered that any drastic change in the pH levels of the plants leaf would most certainly kill the or damage the plant in any case - so the rate of photosynthesis then becomes really an academic issue

How does the addition of nach3co2 affect the pH of a ch3cooh solution?

A change in can bring about a change in air pressure?

if the dna sequence of a gene was tacttaccgagctagact then what kind of mutation has occured This has nothing to do with the question of air pressure. Either a change of temperature or a change of volume can affect air pressure, according to Boyle's Law of Gases. Increasing temperature=increased air pressure Decreased volume=increased air pressure The reverse is also true. Decreased temperature=decreased air pressure Increased volume=decreased air pressure


How freezing and evaporation affect salinity?

Salinity is increased by evaporation or by freezing of sea ice. It is decreased as a result of rainfall, runoff, or melting of ice.
