Question

How water affects the rate of photosynthesis?


Open in App
Solution

Photosynthesis:

  1. The process by which plants convert carbon dioxide, water, and sunshine into oxygen and sugar-based energy is known as photosynthesis.
  2. Green plants and certain other organisms convert light energy into chemical energy through a process called photosynthesis.
  3. Light energy is gathered and utilized during photosynthesis in green plants to change the water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen- and energy-rich organic molecules.
  4. Water indirectly influences the rate of photosynthesis.
  5. Stomatal closure impacts the rate of photosynthesis when the water supply is constrained.
  6. When there is a water shortage, the stomata close, reducing the amount of carbon dioxide available.
  7. Water stress also causes leaves to wilt, which lowers the metabolic activity that leaves perform.
