These are some factors which can affect photosynthesis
Light intensity
Without enough light, a plant cannot photosynthesise very quickly - even if there is plenty of water and carbon dioxide and a suitable temperature.
Carbon dioxide concentration
Carbon dioxide – with water – is one of the reactants in photosynthesis.
Temperature
The chemical reactions that combine carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose are controlled by enzymes. As with any other enzyme-controlled reaction, the rate of photosynthesis is affected by temperature.
The amount of chlorophyll also affects the rate of photosynthesis:
- plants in lighting conditions unfavourable for photosynthesis synthesise more chlorophyll, to absorb the light required
- plants in lighting conditions unfavourable for photosynthesis synthesise more chlorophyll, to absorb the light requiredthe effects of some plant diseases affect the amount of chlorophyll, and therefore the ability of a plant to photosynthesise, such as downy mildew in grape vines
