Question

the graph shows how the rate of photosynthesis of a plant varies with light intensity. interpret the graph and justify statement.

Answer 1

The graph shows that the rate of photosynthesis increases with increased light intensity, other conditions being constant.

Photosynthesis and light intensity

From the graph, the rate of photosynthesis increases with an increase in light intensity.

At low light intensity, the photosynthesis rate increases with an increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide and level off at some point.

With medium light intensity, the rate of photosynthesis is about twice that of low light intensity under the same concentration of carbon dioxide. It also gradually levels off when the concentration of carbon dioxide reached a particular point.

The same trend applies to high light intensity. The rate of photosynthesis increased accordingly, much more than low and medium-intensity light.

Both light and carbon dioxide concentration can limit the rate of photosynthesis. When both factors are abundant, photosynthesis can be limited by other factors such as water, nutrient, etc.
