Is it true that an increase in light intensity will not increase the rate of photosynthesis?

No, that is not true and increasing light intensity increases the photosynthetic rate, to a point. The saturation point is reached when the reactions in the reaction center have reached top speed and any more light intensity will not increase the rate of photosynthesis.

Could photosynthesis decrease if you increase light-intensity?
Temperature affects the rate. Because of it is using enzymes.
How does light intensity and the rate of photosynthesis relate to the position of the sun?
Light intensity and the rate of photosynthesis relate to the position of the sun in a few ways. The higher the sun the faster the rate of photosynthesis.
Does the rate of photosynthesis depend on the duration of light?
Low light intensity lowers the rate of photosynthesis, Normal sunlight is good for a normal rate of photosynthesis, Very high intensity bleaches (destruction) the chlorophyll
How does the rate of photosynthesis respond to changes in light intensity?
It directly increases along with the growth in intensity of the light
How do you calculate the light intensity on rate of photosynthesis?
Intensity (W/m^2)= Watts / (4* pi* distance from bulb in meters^2) Intensity can then be compared to rate of photosynthesis at different distances.
How does changing the light intensity effect photosynthesis and why?
By changing the light intensity the rate of photosynthesis will either increase or decrease because it is one of the factors that affects photosynthesis. If you increase the light intensity the rate increases but if you decrease the light intensity the rate decreases.
What is the relationship between light intensity and photosynthetic rate?
The relationship between light intensity and photosynthetic rate is that if the intensity of the light is high then the rate of photosynthesis will increase. However the rate of photosynthesis will only increase to an extent after intensity of light reaches a certain point photosynthesis rate will stay still.
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
What is the relationship between an increase in light intensity and photosynthetic rate in tomato leaves?
As light intensity increases then the rate of photosynthesis increases until a point is reached when the rate levels off. Beyond this point is called the light saturation point of photosynthesis.
What factors increase or decrease the rate of photosynthesis?
carbondioxide: increase cO2- photosynthesis
As light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis?
Initially increases then levels off. (the rate of photosynthesis) Hope that helped!!

Why does the rate of photosynthesis increase as light intensity increases?
I believe that it increases. -_-
