Assertion(A): When several factors affect any [bio] chemical process, Blackman’s (1905) Law of Limiting Factors comes into effect.
Reason(R): At any point of photosynthesis, the rate will be determined by the factor available at sub-optimal levels.

1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

Assertion(A): The effect of water as a factor is more through its effect on the plant, rather than directly on photosynthesis.
Reason(R): Water stress also makes leaves wilt and increases metabolic activity as well.
