Q

Factors affecting photosynthesis
1.
2.

A
  1. Water, Carbon Dioxide, and Light Intensity
    All have the same effect as each of these are increased the rate of photosynthesis increases but levels out as the maximum capacity for the process is reached
  2. Temperature
    As temperature increases the rate of photosynthesis increases however extreme temperatures decrease the rate of photosynthesis
    - enzymes for the process have a narrow range of temperatures in order to function.
