What happens during photosynthesis?

What happens to photosynthesis when there is more carbon dioxide present, and what happens when light intensity is increased?

• Answer:

  Carbon Dioxide is neccessary for phoyosynthesis so when there is more photosynthesis will occur faster. it will not increase indefinitely however because it will be limited by other factors. When light intensity is increased the rate of photosynthesis increses because, as the energy for photsynthesis comes from light, there is more energy to power the process. The photosynthetic rate will increase as the light intensity increases like it will will carbondioxide but it will also be limited by other factors. Other factors include water availibility, temperature and the metabolic rate of enzymes(ie they can only work so fast).
