Draw one liine to link ea ach factor witth one reaso on why it affects plant growth. Facto or Reason low te emperature reduces reaction ratees because most m reactions s in cells takee place in so olution low m mineral ion co ontent of soil enzyme--controlled reeactions are slower low w water contentt of soil reduces the amount of energy the plant receives for photosynnthesis low light levels reduces the amount of some sub bstances (e.g g. proteins)) the plant caan make e the name of o the type off factors liste ed above.
