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)

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!
Yes, by quite a bit.
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.
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.
Sunlight is an important part of photosynthesis. This is because Photosynthesis is the when a plant turns the energy that it gets from the Sun into energy that the plant can use. When a plant has more sunlight it can photosynthesize faster because there is more sunlight for the plant to convert into energy. It is also important because it provides the energy that causes water and carbon dioxide to react.BUT JUST LIGHT WILL BE FINEACTUALLY PHOTOSYNTHESIS CAN HAPPEN AT NIGHT IT JUST NEED LIGHT SHINING AT IT.
the consumation rate of oxigen (or better : the production rate).
carbon dioxide production
What abiotic factors could affect the rate of photosynthesis in a plant?
The plant's fine - until it runs out of stored "food".

The rate will decline due to low temperature
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
because plants need photosynthesis to live or they will die
There are several factors.Temperature,CO2 concentration,H2O amound,light etc
