Answer:

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.

Explanation:

There are several ways of measuring the rate of photosynthesis in the lab. These include:

the rate of oxygen output

the rate of carbon dioxide uptake

the rate of carbohydrate production

These are not perfect methods as the plant will also be respiring, which will use up some oxygen and carbohydrate and increase carbon dioxide output.

Several factors can affect the rate of photosynthesis:

light intensity

carbon dioxide concentration

temperature

The amount of chlorophyll also affects the rate of photosynthesis:

plants in lighting conditions unfavourable for photosynthesis may synthesise more chlorophyll, to absorb the light required

the effects of some plant diseases affect the amount of chlorophyll, and therefore the ability of a plant to photosynthesise

Can you write the formula for and indicate the charge on each of the following ions: sodium ion, aluminum ion, chloride ion, nit

Anettt [7]

If the ion is named by (element-name) + ion, it is the element with a positive charge.
This means:
Sodium ion: Na(1+)
Aluminum ion: Al(3+)
If the ion is named by (element-prefix)+ide, then it has a negative charge.
This means:
Chloride: Cl(1-)
Nitride: N(3-)
Finally, if it has roman numerals after the name, that is the amount of positive charge the ion has.
Therefore:
Iron (II): Fe(2+)
Iron(III): Fe(3+)

If a man is 50 years old how many times would he go around the sun on mecury

ValentinkaMS [17]

It only takes mercury 88 days to go around the sun, and if the man is 50 years old he would be 18,250 days old, so he would've gone around the sun 207.39 times.

When KCl dissolves in water:

34kurt

This dissociation occur because:

O had to bond with H due to the Hydrogen bonding rule, which will form OH~ (Hydroxide).

K is more attracted to Hydroxide than Cl, so it will depart Cl and bond with OH~.

that leaves a H and a Cl, which one has a positive charge and the other has a negative, so they will bond and form Hydrochloric Acid.
