The reaction for photosynthesis is:

6CO2 + 6H20 + Sunlight => C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6O2

6 molecules of Carbon dioxide and 6 molecules of Water are converted into 1 molecule of glucose sugar and 6 molecules of Oxygen.

This means that if there is either a shortage of water molecules or carbon dioxide molecules the reaction could only run so far before it ran out of "raw materials" to produce glucose and oxygen.

What mostly happens to the rate of photosynthesis as white light levels are decreased?

It decreases. Photosynthesis depends on the availability of light.


What happens to the water produced from photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis does not produce water is uses it.


When water becomes limited what generally happens to the rate of photosynthesis?

When water becomes limited, the rate of photosynthesis typically decreases. Water is a necessary component for photosynthesis because it is used in the process of converting carbon dioxide into glucose. Without enough water, plants are unable to produce sufficient energy to support photosynthesis.


What happens to the rate of photosynthesis when the weather becomes cold?

Photosynthesis occurs within an ideal band of temperature. As the temperature changes in either direction from the center of the band, the photosynthesis rate decreases.

Why is photosynthesis in bodies of water restricted to a certain depth?

Light is reflected by the water and by waterborne particles, so the light intensity decreases with depth. It eventually becomes insufficient to power photosynthesis.
