Question

Aside from sunlight what other factors can affect photosynthesis

Answer 1

Ummmm. Soil? Because you get nutrients from the soil, making the plant strong so it could do photosynthesis, if there aren't any nutrients, then it would be weak and can’t do photosynthesis so that could be one of the factors,

An increase in the carbon dioxide concentration increases the rate at which carbon is incorporated into carbohydrate in the light-independent reaction, and so the rate of photosynthesis generally increases until limited by another factor.
As it is normally present in the atmosphere at very low concentrations (about 0.04%), increasing carbon dioxide concentration causes a rapid rise in the rate of photosynthesis, which eventually plateaus when the maximum rate of fixation is reached.



Although the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis are not affected by changes in temperature, the light independent reactions of photosynthesis are dependent on temperature. They are reactions catalysed by enzymes. As the enzymes approach their optimum temperatures the overall rate increases. It approximately doubles for every 10 °C increase in temperature. Above the optimum temperature the rate begins to decrease, as enzymes are denatured, until it stops.

Answer 2

We learned that light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, and temperature are the three main factors that impact photosynthesis. Greater light intensity leads to higher photosynthesis rates, as does increased carbon dioxide concentration.
