    The word equation for photosynthesis is carbon dioxide + light energy → glucose + oxygen. The three main limiting factors of photosynthesis are light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, and temperature. As light intensity and carbon dioxide concentration increase, the rate of photosynthesis increases, leveling off at higher levels, likely due to all reaction sites being utilized. As temperature increases, the rate increases up to an optimum point then decreases, possibly because enzymes denature at higher temperatures.
