Light is a limiting factor for:

Understand the Problem

The question is asking what processes or conditions light limits, particularly in biological contexts such as photosynthesis. This involves understanding how light influences growth and ecological dynamics.

More Information

Light intensity can limit the rate of photosynthesis. With insufficient light, the process slows down significantly. However, increasing light intensity will improve the rate only until another factor, such as carbon dioxide or temperature, becomes the new limiting factor.

Tips

A common mistake is not considering that light intensity is not the only factor affecting photosynthesis. Multiple factors may interact, and when light is no longer limiting, another factor may take its place.
