These are not ideal ways because the plant will be respiring, which will consume some oxygen and carbohydrates while increasing carbon dioxide production.

Several variables can influence photosynthesis rate, including light strength, carbon dioxide concentration, and temperature.

The quantity of chlorophyll also influences the pace of photosynthesis: plants that are exposed to unfavourable lighting circumstances produce more chlorophyll in order to receive the necessary light.

Some plant diseases have an impact on the quantity of chlorophyll and thus a plant's capacity to photosynthesise.

Concentration of carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide is one of the reactants in photosynthesis, along with water.The rate of respiration increases as the quantity of carbon dioxide increases.
