• what is the formula for photosynthesis?

  co2+h2o~c6h12o6+o2
• what is a limiting factor for photosynthesis?

  light intensity
• what is a limiting factor for photosynthesis?

  carbon dioxide concentration
• if light intensity increases..

  the rate of photosynthesis increase.
• can temperature affect the rate of photosynthesis

  yes
• what is a use of glucose (produced in photosynthesis)?


  to release energy in respiration
• glucose is only produced when..

  there is light.
