Why do farmers want their plants to do as much photosynthesis as possible?

Farmers want their plants to photosynthesise as much as possible in order to increase their crop rate.

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.

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.

If it gets too cold, the rate of photosynthesis will decrease. Plants cannot photosynthesise if it gets too hot.

Farmers can use their knowledge of these limiting factors to increase crop growth in greenhouses. They may use artificial light so that photosynthesis can continue beyond daylight hours, or in a higher-than-normal light intensity. The use of paraffin lamps inside a greenhouse increases the rate of photosynthesis because the burning paraffin produces carbon dioxide, and heat too.

A ruler has markings as shown below. Stefan uses this ruler to measure the length of a metal rod. How many decimal places should
vladimir1956 [14]
Based on a ruler in centimeters, with ten divisions between each centimer mark, you will have marks at every 0.1 cm.


Then, the measure of the length of a metal rod should have 1 decimal place.


That decimal place means mlimiters, given that 1 mm = 0.1 cm.


Answer: 1 decimal place
