Question Answer
What is a limiting factor? Something that stops photosynthesis from happening any faster.
Name 3 limiting factors. Light Temperature CO2
What is the liming factor at night? Light.
What is the limiting factor in winter? Temperature.
If it is warm enough and bright enough, what is the limiting factor? Carbon Dioxide.
Explain an experiment that helps you to workout the ideal conditions for photosynthesis.
Describe a graph that shows that not enough light slows down the rate of photosynthesis. As the amount of light increases, the rate of photosynthesis increases up to a certain point. After that point the rate of photosynthesis doesn't change.
Describe a graph that shows that carbon dioxide affects the rate of photosynthesis. The amount of CO2 will only increase the rate of photosynthesis up to a point. After that point the graph flattens.
Describe a graph that shows that Temperature affects the rate of photosynthesis. The rate of photosynthesis increases until about 45 decrease c where the enzymes start to become denatured.
What is the most common way of artificially crating the ideal environment for plants to grow? Green houses.
How does a green house stop temperature from being the limiting factor? It traps the sun's heat.
How do farmers prevent light from being the limiting factor? They provide artificial light.
How do farmers and gardeners increase the level of CO2 in a green house? By using a paraffin heater that provides heat and produced CO2 as a by-product.
