The main variables which affect photosynthesis are light, water, CO2 concentration and temperature.
On a deeper level, other factors like amount of chlorophyll, availability of nutrients (eg Mg is needed for chlorophyll synthesis) will also affect the rate of photosynthesis, though these are rarely covered in discussion of this topic.
The thing is that photosynthesis will be held back by whichever factor is in shortest supply.
As I sit in my study in England, the sun is shining brightly, but the temperature outside is only 5ºC. I suspect the rate of photosynthesis is limited by temperature today.
Yesterday was a dull day, but in the middle of the day it was not cold and I suspect there wasn't enough light for photosynthesis. If I had turned the security lights on my house on, the plants in my garden might (possibly) have photosynthesised faster.
In summer, some farmers growing crops in glasshouses actually increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the air as all their plants have plenty of water and light and the temperature is near the best possible for photosynthesis.
A good way to investigate this might be with the help of algae and you can use the 'Immobilised Algae' practical for this.
Although water is needed as a raw material for photosynthesis, don't bother trying to investigate water as a variable - plants normally wilt and wither long before water restricts photosynthesis at the biochemical level. They need water to support the plant to face the sun as well as a raw material of photosynthesis.
The simplest equation for photosynthesis:-
Carbon dioxide + water -----(in light, with chlorophyll and enzymes)----> sugar + oxygen
Temperature speeds up all chemical reactions - photosynthesis is no exception.
Enzymes work better in warm conditions (up to about 50ºC when enzymes start to be destroyed by heat).
The idea to get across is that different conditions will be most important on different occasions. This morning, my garden could do with more warmth - yesterday, it could do with more light / sun!
Answer:
Kingdom Protista.
Explanation:
This is a perfect behaviour of a slime mold which is known to be of the kingdom protista. Slime molds are usually found in lawns, and on the forest floor, deciduous logs and soil too.
Protists are made up of eucaryotic cells in which the cell structure is complex with a well defined nucleus. Some of them move around with their flagella or by forming pseudopodia also known as their false sheet.
Hypotension will cause the interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure to increase and capillary hydrostatic pressure to decrease. The net filtration pressure will be reduced favoring the absorption .
Explanation:
Hypotension refers to reduced blood pressure. Decrease in blood pressure results in reduced filtration pressure on capillary walls. This reduces the filtration of water and solutes into the tissue fluid but will favor the movement of water from tissue to blood. So we can say that net filtration pressure will be reduced.
Answer:
because of how much water is in the ocean
Explanation:
there is so much water in the ocean, and 100 degres isnt quite boiling point. and the ocean is so big that even if there was one part of the world where it got hot enough boil and possably evaporate, the colder parts of the world still wouldnt.
It must be durable and available
