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.

Environmental factor that can affect the rate of photosynthesis?

Light intensity is a key environmental factor that can affect the rate of photosynthesis. As light intensity increases, so does the rate of photosynthesis, up to a certain point where it plateaus. Other factors such as temperature and carbon dioxide concentration can also influence photosynthesis rate.


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 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.


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 factors increase or decrease the rate of photosynthesis?

Factors that increase the rate of photosynthesis include higher light intensity, optimal temperature (usually around 25-30°C), and sufficient availability of carbon dioxide and water. Factors that decrease photosynthesis rate include low light intensity, extreme temperatures (too hot or too cold), insufficient carbon dioxide levels, and limited water availability.

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.


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


Name two environmental conditions that may effect the rate of photosynthesis?

Light intensity and temperature are two environmental conditions that can affect the rate of photosynthesis. Higher light intensity generally increases the rate of photosynthesis, while extreme temperatures can either inhibit or denature the enzymes involved in the process.


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.

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.
