1. How does oxygen production relate to the rate of photosynthesis?

2. How do you think light intensity affects the rate of oxygen production?
3. How do you think temperature affects the rate of oxygen production?
Answer in 1 sentence each

1 answer

  1. Oxygen production is a direct byproduct of photosynthesis, so an increase in the rate of photosynthesis typically leads to higher levels of oxygen released.
  2. Higher light intensity generally increases the rate of photosynthesis, thereby enhancing oxygen production up to a certain saturation point.
  3. Temperature can affect the rate of photosynthesis and oxygen production by influencing enzyme activity, with moderate temperatures typically enhancing production while extreme temperatures may inhibit it.
