Question

What name is given to a factor which is preventing any increase in photosynthesis?

Answer 1

Answer: A limiting factor

Explanation: A limiting factor is simply anything in short supply that prevents photosynthesis occurring at its maximum rate. Three factors can limit the rate of photosynthesis: light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration and temperature.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hope it helps..

Explanation:

Without enough light, a plant cannot photosynthesise very quickly - even if there is plenty of water and carbon dioxide and a suitable temperature. Increasing the light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis, until some other factor – a limiting factor – becomes in short supply.
