F. F. Blackman performed experiments to investigate the effects of various factors on photosynthesis. In one of his experiments,

Blackman found that if light intensity was low, photosynthesis could be accelerated by increasing the amount of light, but not by increasing the temperature or carbon dioxide concentration. What can you conclude from this specific experiment?

Answer:

Light was a limiting factor for photosynthesis under the given conditions. Light is required for photosynthesis.

Explanation:

According to Blackman's principle of limiting factors, the rate of photosynthesis is regulated by the factor which is present below the minimal value. Photosynthesis is regulated by many factors such as CO2 concentration, temperature, light intensity, etc. However, under particular conditions, the factor present below the minimum levels regulate its rate.

In the experiment, when the light intensity was present below its minimum levels, an increase in the light intensity increased the rate of photosynthesis. Here, light intensity was the limiting factor and no other factors such as CO2 or temperature would affect the rate of photosynthesis.

Once the light intensity reaches its optimal levels, other factors become limiting and there is no further increase in the rate of photosynthesis by increasing the light intensity.

nataly862011 [7]
All large radioactive atoms decay into smaller atoms by emitting alpha particles which consists of two protons and two neutrons. An alpha particle can also be thought of as the nucleus of a helium atom and as such they are sometimes referred to as He2+ . The positive charge is due to the lack of two electrons.
