Gizmo Questions and Answers Rated A how does light intensity affect oxygen production up to 40% increasing the light intensity increases the oxygen production. Beyond 40% there is no effect. how does temp affect oxygen production oxygen production is maximized around 25 degrees Celsius. Oxygen production goes down when temp is too hot or too cold. --- to much CO2 (hot) is bad and enzymes are stunted when too cold how does carbon dioxide levels affect oxygen production up to about 300-400ppm, increasing carbon dioxide production increases 02 production. Beyond about 400ppm there is no change in the 02 production as carbon dioxide level is increased how does oxygen production relate to the rate of photosynthesis a greater flow of C02 corresponds to a higher rate of photosynthesis more oxygen produced = more photosynthesis why would it be hard to find the ideal light intensity if the temp were very hot or cold if the temp were extremely hot or cold, then oxygen production would be near zero no matter what light intensity value you use. why would it be hard to find the ideal C02 level if the light intensity were very low if the light intensity were very low, then the oxygen production would be near zero no matter what C02 level you use. how does the color of light affect the rate of photosynthesis the light color has a major effect on the rate of photosynthesis -- oxygen production is high for orange and blue light and low with purple, green, and red light what colors were absorbed best by the plants blue-violet, and red-orange what colors were absorbed worst green-yellow the color reflected is the color we see When we look at a leaf, we see colors of light that are reflected off its surface. How does this explain the relatively low flow of oxygen in green light green light is reflected from leaves, which is why they appear green. B/c green light is not absorbed by chlorophyll, photosynthesis does not work well in green light.
