Increasing carbon dioxide availability

Answer 1

Increasing oxygen availability does NOT increase the rate of photosynthesis. In fact, while oxygen is a byproduct of photosynthesis, an increase in oxygen concentration does not enhance the process; it is the availability of light, carbon dioxide, and optimal temperature that typically enhance the rate of photosynthesis.
