Question: What process can reduce the rate of photosynthesis?...
What process can reduce the rate of photosynthesis?
Solution
Photosynthesis takes place when plants and other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy, which is then supplied to power the organism's metabolic pathways through aerobic respiration. A number of factors such as temperature, availability of light etc. can affect the rate of photosynthesis.
Complete explanation
The rate of photosynthesis is aided by a set of attributes. The process's limiting factor is usually the factor that operates at the lowest level. Temperature, light intensity, and carbon dioxide content are only a few of the limiting conditions that might slow down photosynthesis.
Amount of light that is present in a particular area mainly reduces the rate of photosynthesis, as sunlight is an important factor in the process. Photosynthesis requires energy, which is provided by light. If there is enough carbon dioxide and water available, enhancing the solar intensity enhances the efficiency of photosynthesis. Other elements play a role in determining the maximum pace.
Additional information:
One of the other attributes that reduces the rate of photosynthesis is availability of carbon-di-oxide. Photosynthesis appears to require carbon dioxide. If the plant is temperate sufficiently and has adequate light and water, boosting the carbon dioxide content enhances the rate of photosynthesis.
Note:
The photosynthetic pace accelerates as light intensity rises until it reaches a point when it tends to level out. Photosynthesis is slow at low light levels because the light-dependent reactions produce only a tiny amount of ATP and NADPH. More ATP and NADPH are produced when light intensity rises, boosting the photosynthetic rate.
