What environmental characteristics increase the rate of photosynthesis?

∙ 12y ago
Factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis are
1) Light intensity: - the brightness which increases the rate of photosynthesis if increased
2) Light quality: - the color of the light (chlorophyll absorbs red and blue and reflects green, orange, and yellow so red and blue are preferable)
3) CO2 concentration: - the more CO2 the more photosynthesis will occur.
4) chlorophyll availability: - the more chlorophyll the more photosynthesis will occur.
5) water: - INDIRECTLY as if there is little water the plant will stop transpiration by closing the stomata keeping the water inside, but not allowing gaseous diffusion.

∙ 12y agoSeveral factors affect the rate of photosynthesis. If you increase carbon dioxide levels, increase the intensity of light, and keep ph levels around normal then the rate should increase.

How does changing the light intensity effect photosynthesis and why?
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 factors increase or decrease the rate of photosynthesis?
carbondioxide: increase cO2- photosynthesis
How does increase of CO2 levels affect photosynthesis?
Up to a point, an increase of the reactant Carbon dioxide will increase the production of oxygen (increase the rate of photosynthesis). However, it will eventually change the ratio of CO2 and water as the CO2 increases, and the production of oxygen will decrease, (or in other words, the rate of photosynthesis decreases). This is one of the reasons why an increase of CO2 levels in the atmosphere is dangerous, as oxygen levels will decrease.
What environmental factors will cause a rapid decline in the photosynthesis rate if the factor rises above a certain level?
Temperature
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 environmental factors directly influence photosynthesis?
well, temperate, light intensity, and weather effect the rate of 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 changing the light intensity effect photosynthesis and why?
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 factors increase or decrease the rate of photosynthesis?
carbondioxide: increase cO2- photosynthesis
As light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis?
Initially increases then levels off. (the rate of photosynthesis) Hope that helped!!
Would the rate of photosynthesis continue to increase as temperature increases?
yes
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.
What is the function of some enzymes is a seed during photosynthsis?
To increase the rate of photosynthesis
How does increase of CO2 levels affect photosynthesis?
Up to a point, an increase of the reactant Carbon dioxide will increase the production of oxygen (increase the rate of photosynthesis). However, it will eventually change the ratio of CO2 and water as the CO2 increases, and the production of oxygen will decrease, (or in other words, the rate of photosynthesis decreases). This is one of the reasons why an increase of CO2 levels in the atmosphere is dangerous, as oxygen levels will decrease.
Characteristics of corn?
maize plant has wide leaves to increase its rate of photosynthesis so as to make more sugar as it can only last through the summer.
What environmental factors will cause a rapid decline in the photosynthesis rate if the factor rises above a certain level?
Temperature
Name two environmental conditions that may effect the rate of photosynthesis?
Amount of sunlight and availability of Carbon Dioxide
