Question 1 Report
Some growers pump extra carbon dioxide into the air of a greenhouse. The main purpose of doing this is to
Carbon dioxide is a raw material for photosynthesis and is often the factor limiting the rate, because it makes up only a small fraction of the air. Adding more carbon dioxide removes that limit, so the plants photosynthesise faster, make more food and grow better; this is the grower's aim. It is not done to reduce water loss, kill pests or warm the soil. The point of enriching the air with carbon dioxide is to increase the rate of photosynthesis.
