- Rate of Photosynthesis
- Not enough light slows down the rate of photosythesis
- Provides energy needed for photosythesis
- When light is no longer a factor, then either the temperature or the CO2 level will be the limiting factor
- Experiment- beach lamp to control the intensity of light
- Too little carbon dioxide also slows it down
- CO2 is one of the raw materials for photosynthesis
- When CO2 is no longer a factor, the either light or temperature will be the limiting factor
- Experiment- large flask and do it as quickly as you can, so that the plant doesn't use up too much of the CO2 in the flask
- The temperature has to be just right
- If the plant gets too hot, the enzymes needed for photosynthesis and its other reactions will be damaged (45 degrees)
- Experiment- keep flask in a water bath to help keep the temperature constant
- Artificially create the ideal environment
- Greenhouse- trap suns heat and make sure the temperature doesn't become limiting
- Greenhouse- supply artificial light after the sun goes down
- Greenhouse- paraffin heater to increase levels of CO2
- Not enough light slows down the rate of photosythesis
