17.4 Factors Affecting Photosynthesis Flashcards
1
Q
What are the limiting factors of photosynthesis
A
Light intensity
Temperature
Co2 levels
2
Q
What is used to investigate limiting factors
A
Data loggers
They record date over time using sensors
3
Q
What happens when light intensity is reduced
A
The light dependent stage is reduced so less ATP and red. NADP is produced for Calvin cycle
4
Q
What happens with lower temperatures on photosynthesis
A
The enzyme RuBisCo has less kinetic energy and so less glycerate 3phosphate, triose phosphate is produced as less Ribulose bisphosphate is created
