INTRODUCTION: Photosynthesis is the process of making food by plants to produce glucose and oxygen. The equation for photosynthesis is as follows- SUNLIGHT CARBON DIOXIDE + WATER GLUCOSE+ OXYGEN CHLOROPHYLL In this process Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Water (H2O) react together with the help of Sunlight and Chlorophyll to form Glucose and Oxygen. Photosynthesis is affected by four main factors. They are as follows- 1. Carbon Dioxide Concentration (CO2): RATE OF CON The enzyme Carboxylase has active sites on it. CENTRA- TION ACTIVE SITE CO2 CAN FIT INTO THE ACTIVE SITE (CO2) In a plant leaf there is a fixed amount of Carboxylase enzymes. This enzyme allows (C02) to fit into its active site. As the (CO2) rises the active sites all fill up and the rate of photosynthesis levels...
