Name two environmental conditions that may effect the rate of photosynthesis?
Amount of sunlight and availability of Carbon Dioxide
What happens if there is an oversupply of carbon dioxide in a plant undergoing photosynthesis?
it will cause greenhouse effect
What will be the effect of too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to photosynthesis?
An increased level of atmospheric carbon can have a massive impact on photosynthesis. It can boost photosynthesis in plants for example.
How does cellular respiration effect carbon and oxygen in the atmosphere?
Cellular respiration uses oxygen and generates carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and generates oxygen.
How does photosynthesis moderate the greenhouse effect?
As far as CO2 is involved, Photosynthesis is by far and away the Best method of carbon capture and STORAGE [within Earth's Soil] that We Possess; and this [as well as any, every and all forms of ] Removal of CO2 from Our paper thin Atmosphere is what We Desire Most.

What effect does photosynthesis have on carbon?
The carbon in the carbon dioxide is split and used to make sugar...i think
How does changing the carbon dioxide concentration effect photosynthesis and why?
CO2 is an input for photosynthesis, so when you don't have CO2, you don't have photosynthesis. When there is more CO2 present, you will have photosynthesis occur quicker, depending on the rate or concentration of carbon dioxide. Plants take in carbon dioxide, so when animals exhale it, the plants consume that gas. Most places with a high amount of vegetation, are likely to have the air full of CO2. The opposite effect goes for a place with little or no plant life, the carbon dioxide in that region will be lower than average.

How does photosynthesis help minimise the enhanced greenhouse effect?
¨During the photosynthesis process the plant takes in some carbon dioxide from the air and uses it during the rest of the process. When the plant inhales the carbon dioxide it means that there is less of it in the air. This means that there is less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the enhanced greenhouse effect is reduced.

An increased level of atmospheric carbon can have a massive impact on photosynthesis. It can boost photosynthesis in plants for example.
What is the point of carbon dioxide on earth?
Green plants use carbon dioxide as part of the process of photosynthesis. In addition, while we are presently concerned that too much carbon dioxide is resulting in too much greenhouse effect and global warming, it is equally true that too little carbon dioxide would result in global cooling. A certain amount of carbon dioxide is helpful in maintaining the kind of temperature range that we want.
Which process reverses the greenhouse gas effect in the atmosphere?
Photosynthesis, where plants absorb carbon dioxide, store the carbon and release the oxygen.
How does the greenhouse effect increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect does not increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect happens because of the carbon dioxide (and other greenhouse gases) in the atmosphere.It is the burning of fossil fuels that increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Burning coal, oil and natural gas releases age-old carbon dioxide that was laid down underground millions of years ago, so letting it free now puts an impossible burden on the carbon cycle, which cannot remove it.
Does light intensity or concentration of carbon have a greater impact on photosynthesis?
The light intensity has a little bit more effect. The amount of carbon dioxide is generally in excess of what is required for the photosynthesis. It would have to raise significantly above current levels to overtake the effect of light intensity. That is not to say carbon dioxide concentration isn't still very important. The carbon dioxide concentration also has a minor secondary effect by slightly expanding the tropical and temperate regions towards towards the poles when it is higher and shrinking them towards the equator when it drops - it has to be warm for photosynthetic plants to thrive.
What does light energy do to water and carbon dioxide?
Light has little or no effect on water and carbon dioxide, unless a catalyst such as chlorophyll is present. In that case, the light energy is absorbed and the water and carbon dioxide are converted to glucose and water. This is photosynthesis.
Photosyntheic organisms may counter the greenhouse effect by?
By removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere through photosynthesis.
