What stops photosynthesis?

Well there are a couple things that slow down photosynthesis, so to start off Water is an important factor in photosynthesis if the plant could get no water that could slow down the process directly. However, when water is in short supply, the guard cells close the stomata in order to conserve water. this shutes off the plant's supply of carbon dioxide, slowing down the rate of photosynthesis.

The next one that I'll go into is Carbon dioxide, Experiments have shown that the supply of carbon dioxide also has a direct bearing on the rate of photosynthesis, the more CO2 available the faster photosynthesis occurs, and so I would guess that the opposite would also be true, the less CO2 the slower photosynthesis would occur.

Sunlight is the single most important factor in photosynthesis or the intensity of the sunlight striking the leaf. Plants vary a great deal in the amount of sunlight that they require, some plants may almost stop producing glucose if they are placed in the shade while other plants such as ferns and mosses thrive in the shade, and some plants can actually carry on a small amount of photosynthesis on a clear moonlit night! well I hope that, that answered your Q!

well the answers is falce so you dont have to read oo dis haha.....

light, carbon dioxide or water, as little of this will slow down the rate that it is working on, because these are limiting factors that photosynthesis cannot operate without.

This process needs somethings. If some thing missing,it is not happening. Those are light co2 and water.

no in too much light photosynthesis stops.

What can you conclude about glucose formation if a plant placed in a dark room?

It Stops. It is a by-product of Photosynthesis, and without light Photosynthesis can not take place.


Can cellular respiration occur without photosynthesis?

Yes.Cellular respiration always need glucose. So if photosynthesis stops,organisms cannot respire


Does photosynthesis occur in autumn?

It is slowing and then stopping come the autumn. It can depend on the weather conditions. A warmer autumn prolongs the photosynthesis a little before it stops.


Are Red orange and yellow pigments only present in a plant when photosynthesis stops?

no!:p


What happens to the process of photosynthesis if the plant stops receiving sunlight?

they keep growing but slowly and yeah


What will happen if photosynthasis stops?

if photosynthesis stops animals will not get food to eat .The amount of oxygen will decrease and amount of carbon dioxide will increase and the ice will melt which can cause floods.


When water becomes limited what generally happens to the rate of photosynthesis?

it stops and the plant wilts due to osmosis


What if the chloroplast decides to shut down and stop the process of photosynthesis?

If photosynthesis stops, then the plant will die. The chloroplast, through the capturing of light and the process of photosynthesis, makes energy for the plant. So basically the plant would starve to death.


Why do plants less oxygen during the night?

Oxygen is created via the process of photosynthesis. Without sunlight, photosynthesis cannot occur on anything beyond stored energy, resulting in a large decrease in oxygen production.Ê photosynthesis stops at night


Does night and day affect cellular respiration in a plant?

No, respiration is continuous. Photosynthesis stops at night, as it is light dependent.
