How might the rate of photosynthesis be affected by increasing the thickness of a leaf?

By increasing the thickness of a leaf the process of photosynthesis will become longer. This is because the sun has to penetrate through the leaf to the chloroplasts so that the chloroplasts can converge the sunlight into energy. If the thickness of the leaf is increased then the sunlight will take more time to penetrate through the leaf to reach the chloroplasts.

∙ 10y agoThe rate may increase as the exchange of CO2 and O2 becomes easier, but the rate of transpiration (water vapor being lost to the atmosphere) will increase. With this trade off, there is an optimal size for the stomata to be for the given conditions.

How temperature affects photosynthesis not only about its rate?
Photosynthesis happens rapidly when there is sunlight. Sunlight is a main factor necessary for Photosynthesis. So if the temperature is not hot enough, photosynthesis might not happen as rapidly as it happens when the sunlight is directly there.

How might the rate of photosynthesis be affected by increasing its thickness?
The rate of photosynthesis would be slowed down by increasing the thickness of a leaf. Leaves that are broad and thin offer the best conditions for the process.
How does one change the thickness of a gauge?
There are many ways in which one would be able to change the thickness of a gauge. One might want to change the tension when increasing the thickness of a gauge.

How might photosynthesis and plant growth be affected if green house air is filled with carbon dioxide?
Well with less CO2, the plants and photosynthesis will be less rapid, as opposed to an area rich with CO2, where plants would conduct photosynthesis very quickly.

What Might Be The effects of increasing amounts of uvr on productivity?
uU UVR transfers much more energy than visible light. As a result, UVR can inhibit photosynthesis and harm cells by damaging their DNA. DNA damage, in turn, can lead to cancer.

What might happen if one of the ingredients of photosynthesis was taken away?
If one ingredient was removed, I doubt photosynthesis would function correctly.
