Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. For multiple-choice questions, circle the letter corresponding to the correct answer. For short answer questions, provide concise and accurate responses.
1. Which of the following is NOT a primary factor affecting the rate of photosynthesis?
Light intensity
Oxygen concentration
Carbon dioxide concentration
Temperature
2. At what point does increasing light intensity no longer increase the rate of photosynthesis?
When CO2 becomes limiting
When water becomes limiting
When temperature becomes too high
All of the above
3. Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use , water, and sunlight to create their own food.
4. The optimal temperature for most photosynthetic enzymes is typically between and degrees Celsius.
5. Explain how increasing carbon dioxide concentration affects the rate of photosynthesis, assuming other factors are not limiting.
6. Describe the concept of a 'limiting factor' in photosynthesis and provide an example.
7. Increasing temperature indefinitely will always increase the rate of photosynthesis.
True
False
