As temp increases so does the rate of photosynthesis

However if the temp gets too high the enzymes denature and the rate decreases

A

Light intensity increases so does the rate of photosynthesis
But will stop suddenly when the light is no longer the limiting factor

Q

Concentration of CO2 how does it affect photosynthesis

A

Concentration increases so does the CO2

Same as long where it will stop suddenly as it is no longer the limiting factor
