Explain how the following factors affect the rate of photosynthesis:
(a) Concentration of carbon (IV) oxide.
(b) Light intensity.
Answer:
(a) Concentration of carbon (IV) oxide.
The rate of photosynthesis increases as carbon (IV) oxide concentration increases up to a certain level/optimum level where other factors become limiting.
(b) Light intensity.
-The rate of photosynthesis increases as light intensity increases, up to a certain level or optimum light intensity range when other limiting factors slows down the rate of photosynthesis
