Best Answer

There are instruments that measure the input of CO2 and output of H2O, called Photosynthesis Measurement Systems.

Look up the scientific papers that are referenced on the Wikipedia page to see which Photosynthesis Systems have been used to study the rate of photosynthesis;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthesis_system

They use an infrared gas analyser, and are precise and accurate. Some Photosythesis Measurement Systems (e.g. the LCpro+) can precisely control the environment of the leaf being measured, to allow you to conduct detailed experiments on the effects of different conditions on the rate of photosynthesis.

Some Photosynthesis Measurement Systems are light weight (except some models are too heavy for field work. The LI-6400 weighs 13.5kg)

What happens to plant if the rate of respiration becomes more than rate of photosynthesis?

The plant's fine - until it runs out of stored "food".


Which plant has more chlorophyll sun plant or shade plant?

the rate of photosynthesis actually doesn't depend on the amount of sun that each plant gets. It actually depends on the Genus and Species of the plant. Certain Genus plants have a high rate of photosynthesis. Ask on!


Does the plant type affect photosynthesis rate?

Yes, by quite a bit.


What would happen to the rate of photosynthesis if a plant was with ice water?

The rate will decline due to low temperature


Is there a difference in photosynthesis rate between a plant placed in the dark vs another plant placed in the light?

nope, and yes see if you don't have the plant in the light, the plant won't have energy to start photosynthesis but when in light it does


aquatic plants flooding often leads to a decrease in the rate of photosynthesis among aquatic plants. . Why does a decreased rate of photosynthesis lead to a decrease in a plant population?

because plants need photosynthesis to live or they will die


What factors can affect the rate of photosynthesis in a plant?

There are several factors.Temperature,CO2 concentration,H2O amound,light etc


How are the rate of photosynthesis and the growth rate of grass related -?

Energy is needed to reproduce. Photosynthesis is how plants make "food". That "food" is turned into energy by cellular respiration. So, the more cycles of photosynthesis are done, the faster a plant grows.


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.
