An increase in light intensity results in an
increase
in the rate of
photosynthesis
, but only to a
maximum
level
If the light intensity becomes too high, the
stomata close
(limiting the intake of CO2) and carbon dioxide then becomes a limiting factor
Carbon dioxide and water are what the plant converts into
glucose
, and so without enough
carbon dioxide
, the process of
photosynthesis
cannot occur
