what are the limiting factors in photosynthesis?

  • light intensity

  • CO2 concentration

  • temperature

2
New cards

what is the compensation point ?

the point at which the organic compounds made by photosynthesis will exactly match the amount of organic compounds being used in respiration

New cards

why does more light increase the rate of photosynthesis?

more light means electrons are more excited on chlorophyll and are emitted so more electrons pass down the elcetron transport chain so more ATP is produced and more NADPH is formed

why are glasshouses used ?

heating them prevents night temperatures falling to low & allows the growers to provide optimum temp for growth
