***Carbon Dioxide:
More Substrate---More collision--->more Product (glucose)
***Light Intensity:
More Light-->more conversion-->More Product
At a certain amount of Light the rate will stay constant, it will increase no more. If it is too strong it can damage the Chloroplast
***Temperature:
Increase temperature--->
increase in kinetic energy of the Enzyme and the Substrate-->
More collisions (lock and key theory)--->
Faster rate of reaction
You get a "A" graph
After about 40 degrees the rate of reaction declines this is because the enzymes are being destroyed
The lowest Rate of Photosynthesis is the limiting factor-Usually Light
