How does carbon dioxide concentration affect photosynthesis rate?

Increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide increases the rate of photosynthesis, as there is a greater supply of it that can be used. Of course, you can only add so much carbon dioxide before the plant can’t perform photosynthesis at an any faster rate. Increased carbon dioxide concentration will increase the rate of photosynthesis until it is no longer the limiting factor in the reaction.

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:

CO2 concentration is directly proportional to rate of photosynthesis.

CO2 is raw material for process of photosynthesis.

CO2 + H2O → C6H12O6 + O2

Increase in CO2 concentration increases rate of photosynthesis.

Decrease in CO2 concentration decreases rate of photosynthesis.

Therefore, CO2 concentration is limiting factor for rate of photosynthesis.

Describe how an<br> algal bloom might alter the local carbon cycle in that ecosystem.

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

During an algal bloom the species produce a toxic chemical substance which is harmful to animals that feed on the algae that causes a tint in the water because of the photosynthetic pigments is known as a red tide a red tide may or may not be harmful . Nonetheless algal bloom can produce both beneficial and harmful cycles.

It is beneficial because it can provide organic compounds needed by higher organisms, for this reason productivity increases because there's more algae in the water which means that more carbon dioxide is used from the atmosphere and that more oxygen is being released into the atmosphere which is needed and necessary for many living things
