In the leaf cells of a plant, enzymes control the rate at which carbon dioxide is converted into glucose. Which environmental factor would MOST affect the action of the enzyme?

The environmental factor that would most affect the action of enzymes in the conversion of carbon dioxide into glucose (photosynthesis ) is the light.

PHOTOSYNTHESIS - Photosynthesis is a process by which plants and other organisms convert light energy into chemical energy, which is then released to fuel the organism's metabolic activities through cellular respiration. Carbohydrate molecules, such as sugars, store this chemical energy, which is created from carbon dioxide and water.

The first photosynthetic species most likely arose early in the evolution of life and used reducing agents such as hydrogen or hydrogen sulfide as electron sources rather than water. In the process of carbon fixation, carbon dioxide is transformed into sugars; photosynthesis uses energy from the sun to turn carbon dioxide into carbohydrate. Carbon fixation is a redox reaction that is endothermic. Photosynthesis is the oxidation of carbohydrate or other nutrients to carbon dioxide, while cellular respiration is the reduction of carbon dioxide to carbohydrate. Carbohydrates, amino acids, and fatty acids are nutrients involved in cellular respiration.

poor water quality affects most estuarine organisms, including commercially important fish and shellfish. the pollutants that have the greatest impact on the health of estuaries include toxic substances like chemicals and heavy metals, nutrient pollution (or eutrophication), and pathogens such as bacteria or viruses.
