Answers from the notes, with the page they came from

The tutor answers from what you uploaded and points to where it found it. When your material doesn't cover something, it says so.

Why does the rate of photosynthesis stop going up when I keep increasing the light?

Tutor

Because another factor has become the limiting one. At low light, light intensity is what holds the rate back, so more light means a faster rate. Once there's plenty of light, the plant is now limited by something else, usually carbon dioxide concentration or temperature, so adding even more light makes no difference. Your notes show this as the graph levelling off into a plateau.

What is the Calvin cycle?

Tutor

Your notes don't cover the Calvin cycle, so this isn't from them. In general terms, it is the set of reactions inside the chloroplast that uses the energy captured from light to turn carbon dioxide into sugar. At GCSE you're not expected to know its steps; the word equation and the limiting factors in your notes are what the exam asks for.
