What factors affect photosynthesis and why?

Temperature - the light-independent reaction is temperature sensitive due to being enzymed controlled

CO2 - Is needed as a source of carbon

Light intensity- Needed to 'excite' the chlorophyll (allow their electrons to move into higher orbitals/ have more energy which can be used to convert ADP to ATP)
