Q

How do we know that something is the limiting factor?

A

If when we increase the factor it quickens the reaction showing that it wasn’t as quick as it could’ve been.

Q

What happens when we increase the amount of Co2?

A

The rate of photosynthesis increases.

17
Q

What happens when a plant doesn’t have enough chlorophyll?

A

The rate of photosynthesis goes down as the plant is trapping less energy.

18
Q

What happens when we increase temperature?

A

The rate of photosynthesis increases.

19
Q

What happens when we increase the temperature too much?

A

The enzymes denatures.

20
Q

What is the optimum temp for photosynthesis?

A

45 degrees.

21
Q

What does optimum mean?

A

Where something works best at.

22
Q

Give three ways leaves are adapted to carry out photosynthesis?

A

Broad- Large surface area
Thin-short diffusion distance
Contains chlorophyll- absorbs sunlight

23
Q

Which way are reactants and products?

A

reactants–> products
