Name 3 things that affect the rate of photosynthesis?
Temperature
Light intensity
Carbon dioxide
What is the equation for light intensity?
1/distance^2
If the distance was doubled, what would the light intensity be?
4 times smaller
If there isnt enough of one thing , what would it be called?
A limiting factor
If we look at a graph and its light intensity, what would be the limiting factor?
Temperature or carbon dioxide
What does light intensity provide for photosynthesis?
Energy
What does co2 give to photosynthesis?
Raw materials, able for the plant to breathe.
How does temperature affect the rate of photosynthesis?
The higher temperature = more kinetic energy = more frequent collisions
If we look at a graph and saw the temperature. What would be the limiting factor?
Light intensity or C02
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
C02 + water -> glucose + oxygen
