In each of the following situations, what happens to the rate of photosynthesis?
(a) Cloudy days
(b) No rainfall in the area
(c) Good manuring in the area
(d) Stomata get blocked due to dust

Answers (1)

(a) Cloudy days: The rate of photosynthesis decreases as the sunlight is low.
As the intensity of light decreases, the rate of light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis and in turn, the rate of
photosynthesis decreases.

(b) No rainfall in the area: The rate of photosynthesis decreases as the water is needed for photosynthesis. which gets broken into oxygen and hydrogen which later converts into carbohydrates.

(c) Good Manuring in the area: The rate of photosynthesis increases as plants need raw minerals such as Fe, N, Mg, P….etc. for building their body and manuring increases raw minerals which further increases the rate of photosynthesis.

(d) Stomata get blocked due to dust: CO2 gas enters the leaves through the stomata. If stomata get blocked due to dust, CO2 gets blocked and hence the rate of photosynthesis decreases.
