To occur photosynthesis needs light, chlorophylll, enough carbon dioxide and appropriate tempreatures. In the summer it gets lighter and warmer although just the same as when its too cold if its too hot photosynthesis will reduce

∙ 11y agoThere are 4 things which are needed for the photosynthesis action. They are, 1.Chlorophyll 2.Water 3. Carbon-dioxide and 4. Sunlight.
During summer the sunlight is always there and hence, during the summer time the sunlight is collected more by the plants because it is essential for photosynthesis which causes this action to happen more rapidly.

∙ 15y agobecause there is more leaves which contaain sugar

2. Not quite sure... sorry!
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoIt happans because there is the more light in summer and there is more carbon dioxide in the air
Wiki User
∙ 15y agobecause there is more light and light is needed to photosynthesise so it happens faster due to more light
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoPlants need sunshine for photosynthesis.In the winter there is not a lot fo sunshine.

Why are carbon dioxide levels in the air higher in winter compared to summer?
In the northern winter since plants are dormant and not taking carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.The Northern Hemisphere has much more land for vegetation to grow on compared to the Southern Hemisphere. Carbon dioxide (CO2) builds up slowly during the northern winter, when trees and plants are dormant. It generally reaches its highest level in May of every year.
Why is it cooler by a lake in the summer or warmer by a lake in the winter?
Usually, because the sea has just been from winter, it stays cold for a while into spring and as soon as summer comes then the sea usually starts to warm up again but becasue the sea is quite big it takes longer to get warmer (about from spring or summer) which is why is only ends up warmer at the end of summer because it has had longer to heat up
What is more important for FRUITING plants Phosphorus or Potassium?

Why are plants an important foundation for many ecosystems?
Well plants and trees create living habitats for animals. they also absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen for humans and animals to breath. they also provide shelter and food to some animals as well. Like koala's and birds
What are the adaptations of dogwood trees?
They have a slight prick on there stems so when something gets close to them it pricks them, although this prick does not affect humans as it is so tiny. Behavioural adaptation: They grow more in summer than in winter structural: there prick :)hope this helps
Is more oxygen produced in the winter or summer?
Oxygen is produced by living plants. Plants use Carbon Dioxide, Water and Sunlight to make Sugars and Oxygen. As sunlight is required and there is more of this in summer, more oxygen is produced in summer than winter.
Why do plant grow more in the summer than the winter?
In the summer plants recieve more direct sunlight then in the winter becuase of the tilt of the Earth on its access. Therefore causing faster photosynthesis to occur making the plants grow.
Why are there more animals and plants in the summer?
there are more animals and plants in summer because the weather is better and food is more plentiful. in winter many animals hibernate or migrate because its too cold and there is not enough food to eat.
