What factors could affect the rate of photosynthesis?

Answer 1

TLC: Temperature, Light and Carbon Dioxide

Answer 2

The factors that effect the rate of photosynthesis are:

the amount of sunlight,

the amount of carbon dioxide,

amount of water,

intensity of sunlight,

and the climate (temperature)

Answer 3

Major factors-:

Light intensity: Generally, more light intensity results in swifter photosynthesis.

Carbon dioxide concentration: More levels result in a bigger rate. This is usually the rate-limiting step in natural settings.

Temperature: Like all chemical reactions, lower temperatures speed down the rate. However, above a certain point, high temperatures hurt the enzymes responsible for photosynthesis. There is an optimal temperature range for photosynthesis, usually around 30 °C/86 °F.

Availability of water: Although water is needed as a raw material for photosynthesis, if water is short, it will cause the plant to wilt (and thereby lose its ability to capture sunlight) long yester it limits photosynthesis at the biochemical level.

Availability of nutrients: On a deeper level, other factors like amount of chlorophyll, availability of nutrients (e.g. Mg is needed for chlorophyll synthesis) will also affect the rate of photosynthesis.

Lesser factors-:

Wavelength of light: For example indoor plants will grow under artificial fluorescent light, but not very well wherefore the tube does not provide the correct visible light spectrum required for the long-term health of the plant.

External or environmental factors: Plant population/density limits the light and water resources. Environmental pollutants (dust, ash) may clump onto the leaves and reduce the effectiveness of photosynthesis.

In commercial plant propagation, horticulturists try to maximise these factors. They place the plants in greenhouse with the correct aspect to provide the most sunlight; they space the plants to reduce competition; they provide water artificially and regularly; they provide nutrients in the correct proportions for optimal growth; they increase and regulate the temperature within the structure; they even increase the CO2 levels artificially in the greenhouses to increase the rate of photosynthesis.

Answer 4

The amount of light, the carbon dioxide supply, the tempreature, the water supply,and the availability of minerals are the most important environmental factors that directly affect the rate of photosynthesis in land plants. The rate of photosynthesis also is determined by the plant species and its physiological state.

Answer 5

Chlorophyll, sunlight, water and carbon dyioxide.

Answer 6

Water, light, Carbon Dioxide, and temperature.

Answer 7

The factors are: light as photosynthesis needs light and temperature is also an element. :')

Answer 8

The plant type, the needs of the plant, whether those needs are met, growing conditions and other factors which basically fall into this category
