Graphs

• Light intensity graph

  This can be represented by a graph that rises steeply before plateauing, forming a curve that eventually flattens out

  Beyond a certain point of light intensity, the rate no longer increases, indicating another factor such as CO(2) concentration or temperature is the limiting factor

  
• Carbon dioxide concentration graph

  This can be represented by a graph that rises steeply before plateauing, forming a curve that eventually flattens out

  Beyond a certain point of CO(2) concentration the rate no longer increases, indicating another factor such as light intensity or temperature has become the limiting factor

  
• Temperature graph

  The rate of photosynthesis increases due to temperature increasing the collisions between enzymes, but only up to a point known as the optimum temperature

  After the optimum temperature, the enzymes denature and the rate of photosynthesis rapidly declines
