Background

Plants are producers – they make their own food using light, water and carbon dioxide and by doing so are the building blocks for life on Earth, providing food for other living organisms. 

Ideally plants would always have a constant supply of light, water and carbon dioxide and the temperature would remain at the optimum level for photosynthesis. However, for most plants it’s likely that conditions will not always be ideal.  

What is the effect on the rate of photosynthesis if one of these factors is limited?
