B. The main external factors that control the rate of photosynthesis are light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration and temperature. Study the given graphs and answer the questions that follow : Graph A High Light intensity / CO2 concentration Graph B

(05)

Rate of photosynthesis

Rate of photosynthesis

Low Light intensity / CO2 concentration Light intensity / CO2 concentration

10oC 20oC 30oC 40oC

Temperature

1. State the relationship between CO2 concentration and light intensity from graph A. 2. Graph B shows there is a decrease in rate of photosynthesis above 40oC. Give reason. 3. What happens when the light intensity and CO2 concentration remain constant ? 4. The optimal temperature at which photosynthesis takes place is 20 to 30C. a. If the temperature is high, plant enzymes become (denatured / active) decreasing the rate of photosynthesis. b. If the temperature is low, plant enzymes become . (denatured / inactive) decreasing the rate of photosynthesis; therefore, photosynthesis is found to be highly sensitive to temperature. 5. If light intensity is constant, what changes do you analyze from the graph - B for rise of every 10 o C till the optimum temperature reaches ?
