A) sunlight concentration B) temperature C) chlorophyll concentration D) carbon dioxide availability Effects of the variables and there concentrations: The amount of sunlight will decide the rate of photosynthesis as there will be a an increased rate of photosynthesis due to the increased availability of photons of light. This light energy can then be transferred to chemical potential energy. The energy is then distributed around the plant and used for various reasons around it. The plant contains a lot of cellulose and it is needed in the plant cell walls and in the membranes. The osmotic pressure is kept up due to this rigid structure of the plants and so, it is very useful as a substance to make sure that everything is working smoothly within the plant....
