Exploration
Answer the following questions in fewer than 100 words:
1. What is the relationship between an increase in light intensity and photosynthetic rate in leaves from a corn plant? How does this relationship compare with what you observed for tomato plants? The Photosynthetic rate continued to increase proportional to the light intensity in a linear fashion up to about 1600. Tomato leave photosynthetic rate increased to about 1000 and leveled off even though the light intensity increased.
2. Photosynthetic saturation is the maximum rate of...
