In this episode, we discuss the rate of photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy, is influenced by several factors. The rate of this process is directly affected by temperature, light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration and chlorophyll concentration.
Increasing temperature generally boosts the rate, but excessive heat can damage the enzymes that catalyse the reaction.
Similarly, higher light and carbon dioxide levels enhance photosynthesis up to a certain point, after which other factors become limiting.
A higher chlorophyll concentration directly contributes to an elevated rate of photosynthesis.
