What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the blue and red wavelengths, to facilitate photosynthesis.

Front

Explain the term 'limiting factor' in the context of photosynthesis.

Back

A limiting factor is a condition that can restrict the rate of photosynthesis, such as light intensity, temperature, or carbon dioxide levels.

Front

What is the effect of increased light intensity on photosynthesis?

Back

Increased light intensity generally increases the rate of photosynthesis up to a certain point, after which it may plateau.

Front

How does temperature affect photosynthesis?

Back

Temperature affects the enzymes involved in photosynthesis; too high or too low temperatures can reduce the rate of photosynthesis.
