2.17 understand how varying carbon dioxide concentration, light intensity and temperature affect the rate of photosynthesis

2.17 •carbon dioxide: as the carbon dioxide levels increase, so does the rate of photosynthesis, up to a point. It is then now no longer the limiting factor


        •light intensity: as the light intensity increases, so does the rate of photosynthesis, up to a point. It is then no longer the limiting factor

        •temperature: as the temperature increases, so does the rate of photosynthesis, up to a certain point. 
                                        •if it is too high (45 degrees celsius), the enzymes will denature, so then the rate of photosynthesis rapidly decreases
                                                  •the optimum temperature is 37 degrees celsius
