(1) (Total 5 marks) Rate of photosynthesis / l CO 2 min –1 9. There are many abiotic factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis in terrestrial plants. Wheat is an important cereal crop in many parts of the world. Wheat seedlings were grown at three different concentrations of carbon dioxide (in parts per million) and the rate of photosynthesis was measured at various light intensities. 50 40 30 key: 20 1300 ppm CO2 500 ppm CO2 280 ppm CO2 10 0 0 5 10 15 20 Light intensity / × 10 3 lumen m –2 [Source: Adapted from J P Kimmins, Forest Ecology, (2nd edition) page 161] (a) Describe the relationship between the rate of photosynthesis and light intensity for wheat seedlings grown at a CO2 concentration of 500 ppm. ............................................................................................................................................... ............................................................................................................................................... ............................................................................................................................................... ...............................................................................................................................................

(2) Leaf area and chlorophyll levels were measured in sun leaves and shade leaves of Hedera helix (English Ivy) and Prunus laurocerasus (Cherry Laurel). Sun leaves developed under maximal sunlight conditions while shade leaves developed at reduced sunlight levels in the shadow of other leaves.

A [1] 5. water is transparent / allows light to pass through for photosynthesis; cohesion of water molecules allow transport in plants; solvent – chemical reactions take place in water; many substances dissolve in water and can be transported; high boiling point making liquid water available to organisms / water is liquid over a range of temperatures; water is most dense at 4°C so ice floats over water providing winter habitat; high specific heat capacity so stable environment (internal/external); high surface tension – supports (near) surface dwelling organisms; coolant – absorbs heat when it evaporates / changes states; [5] 6.
