Content: - Starch is stored in an organelle called Vacuole
What is meant by the 'rate of photosynthesis'? the process by which plants take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, add water, and use the energy of sunlight to produce sugar. Main factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis
Light intensity: Without enough light, a plant cannot photosynthesize very quickly, even if there is plenty of water and carbon dioxide. Increasing the light intensity will boost the speed of photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide concentration: Sometimes photosynthesis is limited by the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air. Even if there is plenty of light, a plant cannot photosynthesize if there is insufficient carbon dioxide. Temperature: If it gets too cold, the rate of photosynthesis will decrease.
