B8.2 The Rate Of Photosynthesis Flashcards
1
Q
What is the gradient of the relationship between light intensity and the rate of photosynthesis?
A
Increases rapidly at first, then slows down before levelling out
2
Q
What is the gradient of the relationship between CO2 concentration and the rate of photosynthesis?
A
Increases rapidly at first, then slows down before levelling out
3
Q
What is the gradient of the relationship between temperature and the rate of photosynthesis?
A
Starts above the x axis, increases steadily up to the optimum. Then plummets and decreases to 0 very rapidly.
4
Q
What is the mathematic relationship between light intensity and distance?
A
Light intensity ∝ 1/distance²
