Limiting factor in photosynthesis
Factor that
limits
the rate of
photosynthesis
View source
Interpreting graphs to determine the limiting factor in photosynthesis
1. Observe the rate of
photosynthesis
as
different
factors are changed
2. Identify which factor causes the rate to
increase
when changed
3. That factor is the
limiting
factor
View source
Factors that limit the rate of photosynthesis
Light intensity
Carbon dioxide concentration
Temperature
Amount of
chlorophyll
in leaves
View source
Light intensity is the limiting factor
Rate of
photosynthesis
increases as
light intensity
increases
View source
Carbon dioxide concentration is the limiting factor
Rate of
photosynthesis increases
as carbon dioxide
concentration increases
View source
Temperature
is the
limiting factor
Rate of
photosynthesis
increases as
temperature
increases
View source
Increasing temperature too much causes
enzymes
to denature and the rate of
photosynthesis
to fall
View source
Greenhouse
Used by
farmers
to increase the rate of
photosynthesis
and crop yield
View source
How greenhouses are used to increase the rate of photosynthesis
1. Provide extra
light
2. Provide extra
heat
3. Increase
carbon dioxide
concentration
View source
Using greenhouses to increase
photosynthesis
is expensive, so the
increase
in yield must justify the cost
View source
Oil burners
can be used in greenhouses to release heat and
carbon dioxide
at the same time
