Conclusion

Photosynthesis is a biological process that occurs in plants and other autotrophic organisms such as bacteria, algae, etc. In this process, organisms convert light energy to biochemical energy stored in the biomolecules like glucose and carbohydrates to utilize the energy later for cellular processes. Photosynthesis is governed by many factors, some of the important ones include sunlight, carbon dioxide, water, and temperature. Sunlight gives the necessary energy for the oxidoreduction reaction to occur between water and carbon dioxide molecules. The intensity of light determines the rate of photosynthesis. A high-intensity light is observed with a higher photosynthetic rate. Carbon dioxide and water are the main substrates for the photosynthetic reaction and their optimum availability can only lead to sufficient production of end products which are glucose and oxygen. Every biological process works at an optimum temperature, hence photosynthesis also works best at a range of optimum temperatures. All these factors must be present in optimum values for efficient photosynthesis.
