10. Forty bean seeds were planted in 40 different pots containing soil of the same composition and moisture level. All seeds were of the same age and species. The pots were divided into four groups of 10, and each group was kept at a different temperature (5° C, 10° C, 15° C, and 20° C respectively), for a period of 30 days. All other environmental conditions were kept constant.

State a problem being investigated in this experimental setup.

Factors Affecting Photosynthesis

The rate at which photosynthesis occurs is not always the same. The amount of light, the level of temperature, the supply of carbon dioxide, the supply of water, and the availability of minerals are important factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis in land plants. The rate also varies by the species and its health and maturity.

 

The two graphs below show the effects of light intensity and temperature on the rate of photosynthesis in land plants. These two factors affect many enzymes that control photosynthetic reactions. (Light intensity is measured in lumens, the SI unit of light flow.) Study the graphs and answer the questions below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 1. What does Graph 1 tell about the effect of light intensity on the rate of

     photosynthesis?

 2. What happens when the light intensity rises above 9000 lumens?

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 3. What does Graph 2 show about the effect of temperature on the rate of

     photosynthesis?

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 4. What happens when the temperature rises past 33°C?

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 5. Identify the light intensity and temperature levels which allow the

     best photosynthesis rate, based on the graphs?

 

 

Use the diagram of the three cube-shaped cells in the picture to answer the following questions.
