PPT-Limiting Factors of Photosynthesis

What is the ideal combination of factors for the maximum rate of photosynthesis enough light enough carbon dioxide ideal temperature not too hot or cold How is the rate affected if one of these factors is . Aas long as organisms have all of these things available to them their population will continue to grow However populations cannot grow forever Some form of environmental resistance will stop the population s growth The form of environmental resis 29 Figure 1.

Plants and animals, including humans, interact with and depend upon each other and their environment to satisfy their basic needs. . B. Both human activities and natural events can have major impacts on the environment. . BIOLOGY. Limiting Factors . Limiting factor: . Anything that prevents a population from growing too . large. Examples? Discuss . Space (disease, predation). Sunlight. Competition (food, water, mates). November 17, 2009. A ___________ is a group of different species that live together in one area..

Process. = plant cells use light energy to rearrange water and carbon dioxide molecules into sugar . molecules. Oxygen is a by-product (leftover, waste product). Energy now stored in the sugar. What affects how well a plant grows?. Starter. : why is this tree so much taller than the others?! . Success criteria . name the factors that limit plant growth.. explain how the factors limit plant growth.. What is ecology?. Ecology is the study of how organisms interact with one another and with the environment. . What is an ecosystem?. An ecosystem is a community of organisms and their non-living environment. . Density-dependent: . something that depends on the amount of organisms in a unit . area. . (5 examples to follow). So what in the world is a density-dependent limiting factor??. Crowded populations mean the individuals have to compete for food, water, space, sunlight, or anything else necessary for survival and reproduction. During a chemical reaction, the amount of each reactant will determine how much product is formed.. The . limiting reagent. is the reactant that is . used up first . in the reaction, thus determining when the reaction stops.. ?. A large, dense population or . a small, scattered population.

Remember, primary productivity of an ecosystem can be reduced by limiting nutrients. Limiting . factors can . determine carry capacity. Density Dependent Factors. Density Independent Factors. Growth of Populations. A population is a group of organisms belonging to the same species and living within a certain area.. The number of organisms within the group is the . population size.. Under ideal conditions, unlimited food, absence of disease etc, the size of a population would increase indefinitely..
