Limiting Factors

 

If photosynthesis had no limiting factors, what would glasshouse growers have to exploit?

 

 

Precisely. Photosynthesis, just like all other physiological processes in living things as well as chemicals and beyond, is subject to external influences. The main factors that weigh in on the efficiency and speed of photosynthesis are :

 

1. Temperature

2. CO2 Concentration

3. Light intensity

 

Both the concentration of carbon dioxide and the intensity of light are similar in that they are both direct ingredients in the overall photosynthesis reaction. But since temperature…
