Options
- AIt is an external factor
- BIt is an internal factor
- CIt is irrelevant to photosynthesis
- DIt is a limiting factor
Correct answer
B. It is an internal factor
Step-by-step solution
An understanding of the factors that affect photosynthesis is necessary. The rate of photosynthesis is very important in determining the yield of plants including crop plants. Photosynthesis is under the influence of several factors, both internal (plant) and external. The plant factors include the number, size, age and orientation of leaves, mesophyll cells and chloroplasts, internal CO2 concentration and the amount of chlorophyll. The plant or internal factors are dependent on the genetic predisposition and the g
