- proper amount of CO2 in the air
- H2O from the roots from the earth beneath it.
- Sunlight for energy
- Suitable temperature
- Suitable intensity level of the sunlight

Answer: Water, sunlight, carbon -dioxide, temperature are the basic requirement of photosynthesis.
Explanation :
WATER:
- Water is one of the reactants in light reaction.
- The effect of water as a factor is more though its effect on plant rather than directly on photosynthesis.
- Water stress causes the stomata to close hence reducing the CO2 availability.
- Its reduces the surface area of the leaves.
SUNLIGHT :
- It increase in incident light beyond a point causes the breakdown of chlorophyll and a decrease in photosynthesis.
- The linear relationship between incident light and co2 fixation rate at low light intensities.
CARBON - DIOXIDE:
- It is the main limiting factor of photosynthesis.
- The C3 and C4 plants respond differently to CO2 concentrations.
- They allowed to grow in carbon dioxide enriched atmosphere that leads to higher yields.
TEMPERATURE:
- The dark reaction being enzymatic are temperature controlled.
- the light reactions are also temperature sensitive they are affected to a much longer extent.
- The temperature optimum for photosynthesis of different plants depends on the habitat that they are adopted to.
