CO₂ as Limiting Factor in Photosynthesis — NEET Biology
📚 Practice Concept📖 NCERT Source
Carbon dioxide is the major limiting factor for photosynthesis. The concentration of CO₂ is very low in the atmosphere (between 0.03 and 0.04 per cent). Increase in concentration upto 0.05 per cent can cause an increase in CO₂ fixation rates; beyond this the levels can become damaging over longer periods.
