Consider the following statements : 1. Blackman’s law of limiting factors states that the rate of photosynthesis depends on the single factor present in the highest concentration. 2. Very high light intensity may cause photooxidation of chlorophyll, damaging the photosynthetic apparatus. 3. Beyond light saturation point, further increase in light does not enhance photosynthesis if CO₂ is limiting. 4. In aquatic plants, light penetration is an important factor for photosynthetic rate. 5. Water is never a direct limiting factor, but drought leads to stomatal closure and reduced CO₂ entry.
