To create food (sugar)
For apex--- Point a.
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.
Photosynthesis begins in a plant's life cycle during the growth stage, specifically when the plant has developed leaves and is exposed to sunlight.
When Elodea is at the light compensation point, the rate of photosynthesis matches the rate of respiration. This means that the amount of oxygen being produced through photosynthesis is equal to the amount being consumed through respiration, resulting in no net change in oxygen levels in the water.
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.
For apex--- Point a.
the sugar produced by photosynthesis is the plants 'food.' it is the point of the process. plants 'do' photosynthesis to get sugar, which they 'consume' in a way.
At first, sunlight causes an increase in photosynthesis. At some point, photosynthesis stops increasing with increasing sunlight. At this point, the chlorophyll molecules are saturated. Further increases in sunlight cause a decrease in photosynthesis as chlorophyll molecules are destroyed.
The main point of photosynthesis is to make Glucose for the plant to use in cellular respiration which will produce ATP for the plant cell to use to power its cellular activities.
When the rate of respiration is equal to that of the rate of photosynthesis
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.
to capture sunlight to make energy using photosynthesis
Light intensity directly affects the rate of photosynthesis. As light intensity increases, so does the rate of photosynthesis, up to a certain point where the rate levels off or decreases. Plants require a certain amount of light to carry out photosynthesis efficiently.
What is the storage of carbohydrates as a energy source called
False. There is a limit to the rate of photosynthesis even as light intensity increases. Once the saturation point is reached, the rate of photosynthesis remains constant.
Photosynthesis begins in a plant's life cycle during the growth stage, specifically when the plant has developed leaves and is exposed to sunlight.
Two other variables that affect photosynthesis are temperature and carbon dioxide levels. Photosynthesis rates increase with higher temperatures up to a certain point, beyond which they decrease. Carbon dioxide levels also influence photosynthesis, as higher concentrations can boost the rate of photosynthesis up to a certain level.
