Photosynthesis in Greenhouses
Farmers use their knowledge about photosynthesis to increase crop growth every year. Greenhouse conditions are more easily controlled, rather than the air outside. Changing certain variables in the process of photosynthesis can change the outcome of the crops. One variable that farmers change is the temperature. Plants need an optimum temperature to have a sufficient photosynthesis rate, but different plants have different optimum temperatures. The enzymes involved in the chemical reaction of photosynthesis are temperature sensitive and can be destroyed at to high of temperatures. At low temperature the enzymes don’t have enough energy so the reaction slows
