Does Light Intensity Affect the Rate of Photosynthesis? Background Knowledge From a previous experiment I have performed I know that if you increase the light intensity on a plant the rate of photosynthesis will increase with it. I also know that light intensity is a limiting factor that affects the rate of photosynthesis. This means that if you increase the amount of carbon dioxide that it receives and also the amount of water the rate will not increase any more until you increase the light intensity. Other limiting factors are temperature and amount of water. When a plant is taken away from light the rate of photosynthesis rapidly decrease. This is because light is a main factor in photosynthesis. It is so important that if the plant is without light for to long it will die. The formula for photosynthesis is: Carbon Dioxide + Water + Sunlight = Oxygen + Glucose + Energy....
