Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis can be influenced by several factors some of these factors are light intensity, temperature, water supply, and the concentration of carbon dioxide. If the temperature and light intensity is too high or low, there is an immediate decline in the rate of photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are several limiting factors which can reduce the rate of photosynthesis, eg temperature, light intensity and carbon dioxide concentration.
Detailed explanation-3: -At low light intensities, above the light compensation point (LCP), photosynthetic rate increases proportionally to the light intensity and reaches a maximum. However, as light intensity is increased further, chlorophyll can get damaged and as a result the rate of photosynthesis decreases.
Detailed explanation-4: -With too little light, photosynthesis cannot occur either and the plant suffers without the production of sugars.
