A phyloGENETIC tree is not the same thing as a taxonomic tree, which is what Cal described. rRNA and molecular studies are used in phylogenetics to determine relations between species.
1 As the light intensity increases, the rate of photosynthesis increases. 2  However, the rate will not increase beyond a certain level of light intensity. 3  At high light intensities the rate becomes constant, even with further increases in light intensity, there are no increases in the rate.
Factors Affecting Photosynthesis. Low light intensity lowers the rate of photosynthesis. As the intensity is increased the rate also increases. However, after reaching an intensity of 10,000 lux (lux is the unit for measuring light intensity) there is no effect on the rate.
