GCSE Biology - Factors Affecting the Rate of Photosynthesis Practice Questions Worksheet

This resource is a GCSE Factors Affecting the Rate of Photosynthesis Worksheet, including a set of carefully structured questions and answers to deepen students’ understanding of the photosynthetic process.

The worksheet challenges students to:

• Identify the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis.
• Analyse graphs to understand the impact of temperature, light intensity and carbon dioxide concentration on the rate of photosynthesis.
• Discuss enzyme behavior at different temperatures and its effect on photosynthesis.
• Explore the reasons behind the plateau in the rate of photosynthesis at high light intensities.
• Assess how varying levels of carbon dioxide influence the rate of photosynthesis and understand the concept of limiting factors.

Accompanied by a detailed answer sheet, this resource provides students with the opportunity to self-check their work, while enabling educators to gauge student comprehension and progress.

This resource is ideal for classroom instruction, homework exercises, or as a study aid for revision.
