    Chapter 5A: Photosynthesis

    Question Answer Additional guidance Mark


    number
    1(a) ● Limiting factors are carbon dioxide/CO2, water/H2O, temperature and (4)
    light intensity. (1)
    ● If any one falls to a low level (1)
    ● the rate of photosynthesis slows/stops (1)
    ● even if other factors are abundant/not limiting. (1)
    1(b) ● Light-dependent reactions are taking place. (1) (3)
    ● Photochemical reactions (1)
    ● are rate-insensitive/independent of temperature/change. (1)
    1(c) An explanation that includes any three of the following points: (3)
    ● Light-independent reactions (1)
    ● Catalysed by enzyme/RUBISCO (1)
    ● Increase in temperature, more collisions between active site and
    substrate molecules (1)
    ● There is an increase in the rate of reactions (of photosynthesis) (1)
    ● because of the increase in motion of molecules (kinetic energy). (1)
    1(d) ● Variable kept constant (1) (2)
    ● At 0.4%, CO2/carbon dioxide concentration is not limiting. (1)
