Q

Explain the effect of carbon dioxide concentration on the rate of photosynthesis.

A

If carbon dioxide concentration is too low it becomes limiting.
Increasing the carbon dioxide concentration increases the rate of photosynthesis.
After a certain point, other factors will become limiting, rate of photosynthesis will no longer increase with increasing carbon dioxide concentration.
