How does changing the light intensity effect photosynthesis and why?
Eeyore30699
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 are some factors that affect photosynthesis?
The factor that will effect photosynthesis the most is light. Plants need light in order for photosynthesis to take place. Water, air, pH, and temperature will also effect photosynthesis.
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.
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 are the three things that effect the rate of photosynthesis?
The amount of sunlight, the amount of CO2,the amount of warmth and the amount of water all effect photosynthesis.The amount of sunlight, the amount of CO2,the amount of warmth and the amount of water all effect photosynthesis.
What environmental factors directly influence photosynthesis?
well, temperate, light intensity, and weather effect the rate of photosynthesis
What affect does the amount of light have on photosynthesis?
It depends on light. it is changing with light.
What are some factors that affect photosynthesis?
The factor that will effect photosynthesis the most is light. Plants need light in order for photosynthesis to take place. Water, air, pH, and temperature will also effect photosynthesis.
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
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.
How does the rate of photosynthesis respond to changes in light intensity?
It directly increases along with the growth in intensity of the light
What are three factors that affect the rate of photosysthesis?
Amount of CO2 available, light intensity and temperature, all effect 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
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.
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.
For maximum photosynthesis increased light intensity has greater effect than increased leaf surface area?
false Edited answer: In case light is limiting factor in the given situation.
