List 5 factors that might influence the rate of oxygen or carbon dioxide production or consumption in leaves. Explain how each will affect the...

There are several factors that effect the rates of
photosynthesis:


Light intensity - the more light, the
faster the rate (more O2 produced, and CO2 absorbed)


Carbon
dioxide concentration - more CO2 the faster the
rate


Temperature - the colder it is the slower the rate (if
negative, O2 is absorbed, and CO2 released)


Availability of
water - the less water available the more likely the plant will wilt loosing some of its
ability to absorb sunlight


Availability of nutrients - the
amount of chlorophyll, and magnesium for instance or important for the conversion of
sunlight, the less of them there are, the slower the rate of
photosynthesis.
