- - - - light intensity
        
        the greater the light intensity, the faster the rate of photosynthesis
      - concentration of carbon dioxide
        
        the greater the amount of carbon dioxide, the greater the rate of photosynthesis
      - temperature
        
        the higher the temperature, the faster the rate of photosynthesis
    - - water
      - temperature (suitable)
      - sunlight
      - chlorophyll
      - carbon dioxide
  - - - light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll & converted into chemical energy
      - light energy is used to split water molecules into - oxygen & hydrogen atoms (photolysis)
    - - carbon dioxide + hydrogen atoms (with the presence of chemical energy and water) = glucose
      - formation of glucose does not need light energy
