Question

Describe what a limiting factor is and describe how each factor impacts the rate of photosynthesis.

Answer 1

A limiting factor is anything that constrains a population's size and slows or stops it from growing. these factors are mostly biotic . For example, Food or mates. Even competing for resources. Factors for the rate of photosynthesis range. The rate of oxygen output, carbon dioxide uptake, carbohydrate (glucose/sugar) production, temperature is also a limiting factor because At low temperatures, the rate of photosynthesis is limited by the number of molecular collisions between enzymes and substrates. At high temperatures, enzymes are denatured. As well as light intensity because without the sun it’s not even possible
