Limiting factors summary notes

Abiotic factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis
Light intensity
- Light dependent reaction - means that there is no
photo ionisation of chlorophyll
Temperature
- Light dependent reaction- affects ATP synthase
activity
- Light independent reaction- affects rubisco
enzyme activity during carbon fixation
Carbon dioxide concentration
- Light independent reaction- means carbon
fixation cannot take place
