Why does light rarely act as a limiting factor in photosynthesis for most plants?
1. Light intensity never saturates photosynthesis rates.
2. Light saturation occurs at 100% of full sunlight.
3. Light saturation occurs at 10% of full sunlight for most plants.
4. Shade plants require full sunlight to photosynthesize efficiently.

How does water limitation indirectly affect photosynthesis in a plant under normal light and CO2 conditions?
1. Water stress directly impacts the chlorophyll molecule, reducing its light absorption.
2. It limits the plant’s ability to carry out the Calvin cycle by decreasing ATP production.
3. Water stress causes stomatal closure, limiting CO2 uptake and lowering photosynthetic rates.
4. Reduced water decreases light intensity, impacting light reactions.
