Intensity (W/m^2)= Watts / (4* pi* distance from bulb in meters^2)

Intensity can then be compared to rate of photosynthesis at different distances.

What effect does the amount of light have on photosynthesis?

Light intensity directly affects the rate of photosynthesis. As light intensity increases, so does the rate of photosynthesis, up to a certain point where the rate levels off or decreases. Plants require a certain amount of light to carry out photosynthesis efficiently.


Does the rate of photosynthesis depend on the duration of light?

Low light intensity lowers the rate of photosynthesis, Normal sunlight is good for a normal rate of photosynthesis, Very high intensity bleaches (destruction) the chlorophyll


How does light intensity and the rate of photosynthesis relate to the position of the sun?

The angle and intensity of sunlight affect the rate of photosynthesis in plants. Plants positioned in direct sunlight receive higher light intensity and thus have a higher rate of photosynthesis compared to shaded plants. The position of the sun in the sky also determines the light angle and intensity that plants receive, influencing their photosynthetic rate.


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.


How does the rate of photosynthesis respond to changes in light intensity?

It directly increases along with the growth in intensity of the light

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 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

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.

True or false As light intensity increases indefinitely the rate of photosynthesis increases indefinitely?

False. There is a limit to the rate of photosynthesis even as light intensity increases. Once the saturation point is reached, the rate of photosynthesis remains constant.


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.


As light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis?

Initially increases then levels off. (the rate of photosynthesis) Hope that helped!!
