In the context of photosynthesis, the primary limiting factors that impact the rate of this process include:
-
c. dissolved carbon dioxide concentration: Carbon dioxide is a crucial reactant in the photosynthesis process, and its availability can limit the rate at which photosynthesis occurs.
-
d. light intensity: Light is essential for photosynthesis, and the rate of photosynthesis typically increases with light intensity up to a certain point.
The other options, a. collected oxygen volume and b. dissolved glucose concentration, do not directly limit the rate of photosynthesis. While oxygen is a product of photosynthesis and glucose is a product of the entire process, the volume of oxygen collected does not limit the process, and the concentration of glucose is more a product than a limiting factor in the actual photosynthesis reaction.
So the correct answers are:
- c. dissolved carbon dioxide concentration
- d. light intensity
