4 steps. Step 1: 'A LIMITING FACTOR is the factor in shortest supply that prevents the rate from increasing further. Like a chain is only as strong as its weakest link!' Step 2: 'LIGHT INTENSITY - More light = more energy for photosynthesis. But at high light, rate plateaus because CO₂ or temperatur
