The rate of cellular respiration and photosynthesis can increase or decrease because of different factors. Explain how either the rate of cellular respiration or the rate of photosynthesis can be increased and decreased. Be sure to include details of specific reactions in your answer. [T/I]

Step 1
An increase in light intensity generally leads to an increase in the rate of photosynthesis, as more light energy is available for the light-dependent reactions. In these reactions, light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and other pigments, which then excite Show more…

A tree is growing in size. What must be true about the rate of photosynthesis and the rate of cellular respiration? The rate of photosynthesis is lower than the rate of cellular respiration. The rate of photosynthesis is equal to the rate of cellular respiration. The rate of photosynthesis is higher than the rate of cellular respiration. The plant is not conducting cellular respiration.

The purpose of the light reactions of photosynthesis is to 1) build glucose using CO2, ATP, and NADPH 2) use light to energize electrons that power ATP and NADPH formation 3) capture the energy released as glucose is broken down 4) make NADH and FADH2 5) use light to break down glucose
