Light Intensity & The Compensation Light Intensity & The Compensation PointPoint
Dark Dark no photosynthesis, respiration no photosynthesis, respiration continues continues CO2 formed & released CO2 formed & released
Light Light light intensity increase, the rate of light intensity increase, the rate of photosynthesis increasephotosynthesis increase
Compensation pointCompensation point is reach when all is reach when all the CO2 produced in respiration by the the CO2 produced in respiration by the plant is re-used in photosynthesis & there plant is re-used in photosynthesis & there is no net loss or gain in CO2is no net loss or gain in CO2
Compensation pointCompensation point = the LI at which = the LI at which the rate of CO2 uptake (rate of the rate of CO2 uptake (rate of photosynthesis) is exactly equal to the photosynthesis) is exactly equal to the rate of CO2 production (rate of respiration)rate of CO2 production (rate of respiration)
