Limiting Factors of Photosynthesis

  • Limiting Factors
    • Light Intensity
      • A lack of light would slow down the rate of photosynth as light provides energy needed for the reaction.
    • Temperature
      • If it is cold then enzymes will not work effectively and this will slow down the rate of the reaction.
    • Carbon Dioxide Concentration
      • If there is too little carbon dioxide then the rate will slow down.
        • Carbon Dioxide may be limited in an enclosed space
  • When doing photosynth experiments variables:
    • Independant variable is the one being tested.
    • Dependant variable is the one you measure.
      • In most cases this is the volume of oxygen.

    • Control variable are light, temperature and the plant being used
