Question

a scientist wants to increase the rate of photosynthesis in a plant. which factors should be increased? (select the two correct answers.) (1 point) the intensity of the light source. the concentration of carbon dioxide. the number of mitochondria in cells. the amount of glucose in the soil. the amount of water released by the cell. the concentration of oxygen nearby.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process where plants use light energy, carbon - dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen. Light intensity is the energy source for photosynthesis, and carbon - dioxide is one of the raw materials. Increasing light intensity provides more energy, and increasing carbon - dioxide concentration provides more of the reactant needed for the process. Mitochondria are related to cellular respiration, glucose in soil is not directly used in photosynthesis, water released by the cell is not a factor to increase photosynthesis rate, and oxygen is a product of photosynthesis, not a factor to increase its rate.

Answer:

The intensity of the light source, The concentration of carbon dioxide
