Rate and Limiting Factors

Cards (6)

  • How can speed be measured?
    Amount of bubbles over time
  • What is a measure of photosynthesis?
    Bubbles produced or volume of gas produced
  • For the light intensity to rate of photosynthesis graph the light intensity is the limiting factor until it becomes plateau and then it’s another factor that is now limiting.(It could either now be the temperature or the CO2 concentration)
  • For the carbon dioxide concentration to rate of photosynthesis graph the CO2 concentration is the limiting factor until it turns plateau and then it’s another factor limiting which can be either light intensity or temperature
  • For the temperature to rate of photosynthesis graph the line goes up and reaches optimum and then decreases quickly showcasing that the enzyme has now denatured
  • What is a limiting factor?
    Limiting factors affect the rate of a reaction. A limiting factor is a condition, that when in shortage, slows down the rate of a reaction.
