Frage Antworten
What is a limiting factor? A single factor that when in short supply can limit the rate of a process (e.g. photosynthesis)
Name three limiting factors of photosynthesis. 1) Light intensity 2) Carbon dioxide concentration 3) Temperature
Why does the rate of photosynthesis speed up when light intesity increases? Because light is necessary for a plant to photosynthesise and more of it will make the plant photosynthesise quicker.
What would a graph to show the rate of photosynthesis against light intensity look like?
What happens to the rate of photosynthesis and enzymes if it gets too cold? The rate of photosynthesis decreases and enzymes have little energy.
What happens to the plant if the temperature gets too hot? Plants cannot photosynthesise if it is too hot, the enzymes denature and the stomata close to prevent water loss.
What would a graph showing rate of photosynthesis against temperature look like?
What happens to the rate of photosynthesis as carbon dioxide concentration increases? As carbon dioxide concentration increases, the rate of photosynthesis increases because carbon dioxide is necessary for the process.
What would a graph showing carbon dioxide concentration against rate of photosynthesis look like?
If the light intensity and carbon dioxide are at a constant, what must be the limiting factor and why? Temperature must be the limiting factor because when the other variables are constant, increasing the variables does not increase the rate of photosynthesis
