Greenhouse economics

Cards (7)

  • Why are limiting factors important in economics?
    because of enhancing the conditions in greenhouses to gain the maximum rate of photosynthesis while still maintaining profit
  • Why do greenhouses trap heat from the sun to maximise photosynthesis?
    So temperature isn't a limiting factor
  • Why do greenhouses use a heater in winter to maximise photosynthesis?
    So temperature isn't a limiting factor
  • Why do greenhouses open vents in the summer to maximise photosynthesis?
    So temperature doesn't get too hot and denature enzymes
  • Why greenhouses are transparent so light can enter to maximise photosynthesis?
    So light isn't a limiting factor
  • Why do greenhouses add artificial light for evenings/winter to maximise photosynthesis?
    so light isn't a limiting factor
  • Why do greenhouses use paraffin heaters to produce carbon dioxide to maximise photosynthesis?
    So carbon dioxide isn't a limiting factor
