what is the most important factor that increases photosynthesis?
In the atmosphere, the concentration of carbon dioxide ranges from .03 to .04 %. However, it is found that 0.1% of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases the rate of photosynthesis significantly. This is achieved in the greenhouses which are enclosed chambers where plants are grown under controlled conditions.
Any change in the level of a limiting factor will affect the rate of. reaction. For example, the amount of light will affect the rate of photosynthesis. If there is no light, there will. be no photosynthesis. As light intensity increases, the rate of photosynthesis will increase as long. as other factors are in adequate supply. As the rate increases, eventually another factor will come. into short supply.
