- 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
- If there is too little carbon dioxide then the rate will slow down.
- Light Intensity
- 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.

- Light Intensity
- Control variable are light, temperature and the plant being used
