*** WHAT'S COVERED ***
1. Factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis.
* Light intensity.
* Temperature.
* Carbon dioxide concentration.
* Amount of chlorophyll.
2. The role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis.
* Factors affecting chlorophyll levels (disease, environment, nutrients).
3. Limiting factors for photosynthesis.
* How light intensity, carbon dioxide, and temperature limit the rate.
* Graphical representation of limiting factors.
* Explanation of graph shapes (initial increase, plateau, denaturation).
4. Interaction between limiting factors shown on graphs.
5. Artificially creating optimal conditions for photosynthesis.
* Use of greenhouses, artificial light, CO2 enrichment, and paraffin heaters.
* Use of fertilisers and pesticides.
* Economic considerations for farmers.
