Question 9

From Biology HL Paper 1 (May 2024, TZ2)

  1. The graph shows the effect of increasing light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis during an experiment carried out at optimum temperature and normal atmospheric CO2 concentration.
A line graph showing the rate of photosynthesis on the y-axis and light intensity on the x-axis. The curve rises initially and then plateaus. Point X is marked on the plateau region of the curve.
