What affects the rate of photosynthesis?

Temperature, light levels and carbon dioxide levels affect the rate of photosynthesis.

1 of 6

What can plant growers do to give plants the best conditions and improve plant growth?

Artificially control the environment.

2 of 6

What do plant growers need to consider when growing plants?

They have to evaluate the benefits of increasing growth with the increased cost of heating and lighting or from providing carbon dioxide.

3 of 6

What can be constructed to grow plants in an enclosed space?

Green houses and polytunnels.

4 of 6

What can plant growers do to increase the rate of photosynthesis?

Put heaters and lamps in greenhouses (but photosynthesis may stop if temperature/light intensity is too high); adding carbon dioxide to greenhouse air; nitrate ions can be added to soil ensure that plants can make proteins needed for healthy growth

5 of 6

What factors must be controlled in a greenhouse to improve plant growth?
