increasing the temperature will increase the
rate of photosynthesis up to a certain temperature because the enzymes will have more kinetic energy and are therefore more likely to successfully collide with the substrate.
what type of factor is temperature
limiting factor
what happens when it reaches to optimum temperature
the enzymes are most active and the rate of photosynthesis is at its highest – temperature is not the limiting factor.
when does temperature become a limiting factor
when raised above the optimum because the enzymes will start to denature.
what is required for photosynthesis to occur
Energy in the form of light
what becomes the limiting factor if the light intensity is too low
light intensity
what happens to the rate of photosynthesis when the light intensity is increased
The rate of photosynthesis increases
what factor can limit the rate of photosynthesis when the light intensity is increased
Temperature and carbon dioxide concentration
what do plants require to photosynthesis
carbon dioxide
what happens if the carbon dioxide concentration is too low?
It becomes the limiting factor
how can the rate rate of photosynthesis be increased
By increasing carbon dioxide concentration
is there a point where increasing the carbon dioxide concentration will not increase the rate of photosynthesis
yes
why won’t increasing the carbon dioxide concentration beyond a certain point increase the rate of photosynthesis
Other factors will become limiting
what happens to the rate of photosynthesis when light intensity is increased
Increasing light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis up to a point.
what does the graph show
The graph shows the effect of temperature and light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis.
when does light intensity stop being limiting for photosynthesis
Light intensity is no longer limiting when the lines begin to level off.
what can limit the rate of photosynthesis besides light intensity
Low temperature can also limit the rate of photosynthesis.
how does the rate of photosynthesis differ at 10℃ compared to 20℃
The rate of photosynthesis levels off at a much lower rate at 10°C compared to 20°C.
