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.


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 effect do photosynthesis have on the amount of carbon dioxide in the air?

it reduces it


What effect does photosynthesis have on carbon?

The carbon in the carbon dioxide is split and used to make sugar...i think


What happens if there is an oversupply of carbon dioxide in a plant undergoing photosynthesis?

it will cause greenhouse effect


How can you prove in an experiment that carbon dioxide concentration and temperature are limiting factors?

To change (increase or decrease) carbon dioxide concentration and temperature (in different experiments, not simultaneously) and to measure the effect on growth.


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.


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.


What varibles has the least direct effect on the rate of an enzyme-regulated reaction?

Carbon Dioxide concentration


Which process reverses the greenhouse gas effect in the atmosphere?

Photosynthesis, where plants absorb carbon dioxide, store the carbon and release the oxygen.


Does carbon dioxide increase the greenhouse effect?

Yes. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. When we increase its atmospheric concentration, as we do by burning fossil fuels, it causes an enhanced greenhouse effect, leading to global warming.


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.
