    • 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
