Explain the factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis.
The rate of photosynthesis is influenced by several factors: Light intensity: More light increases the rate of photosynthesis up to a point, beyond which the rate plateaus. Light is required to provide energy for the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide concentration: The higher the concentration of CO₂, the faster the photosynthesis rate, as CO₂ … Read more
