Explain how light intensity can be a limiting factor?
Without enough light, a plant cannot photosynthesise very quickly, even if there is plenty of water and carbon dioxide. Increasing the light intensity will boost the speed of photosynthesis.

Explain how CO2 can be a limiting factor?
Sometimes photosynthesis is limited by the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air. Even if there is plenty of light, a plant cannot photosynthesise if there is insufficient carbon dioxide.

Explain how temperature can be a limiting factor?
If it gets too cold, the rate of photosynthesis will decrease. Plants cannot photosynthesise if it gets too hot as the enzymes in the reaction will denature
