Note
Photosynthesis is set by the scarcest factor. Too little water → stomata close → CO₂ can't enter → it stops.

About Leaf & Photosynthesis

Leaf & Photosynthesis is one of 20 topics in the Living World domain (10¹ m scale) at My Labs — an interactive simulation atlas. This virtual lab runs right in your browser: adjust the parameters, pick a scenario and watch the phenomenon change in real time, with a click-to-inspect cross-section for every structure.
