CSEC Biology · May/June 2007 · Paper 2 · Question 1(b)(ii)

Table 1 shows the effect of carbon dioxide concentration on the rate of photosynthesis at two different light intensities.

Using Table 1 and the graph you constructed, determine the concentration at which carbon dioxide is a limiting factor at high and low light intensities respectively.

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.

The mark scheme is shown once you've answered.
