55
Q

Which light colour is worst for photosynthesis?

A

Green (it is reflected, not absorbed)

56
Q

What are some possible limiting factors of photosynthesis?

A

carbon dioxide, light energy, chlorophyll

57
Q

Why does more light lead to more photosynthesis?

A

↑ light = ↑ more water split in light dependent reaction = ↑ hydrogen being carried by NADPH = ↑ carbon dioxide being turned into glucose = ↑ rate of photosynthesis
