Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert theradiant energy from the sun to chemical energy. The rate in whichphotosynthesis occurs is dependent upon three main variables:light, Carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations, and temperature. Howwould the process of photosynthesis be affected, and in what steps,if light, CO2 concentration, and/or temperature were altered duringphotosynthesis?
