Cellular Energetics and Bioenergetics · Autumn Term

Photosynthetic Efficiency

Analyzing the limiting factors of photosynthesis and how plants optimize glucose production for growth.

Key Questions

  1. 1How does the interaction of light, CO2, and temperature govern the rate of biomass production?
  2. 2What are the economic implications of manipulating limiting factors in commercial greenhouses?
  3. 3How might climate change alter the global rate of carbon fixation in marine and terrestrial plants?
