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.
