A biologist measured the rate of photosynthesis (bubbles of oxygen per minute) from a water plant at increasing light intensities, with carbon dioxide and temperature held constant: Light intensity (units) | Bubbles/min 1 | 8 2 | 16 3 | 24 4 | 30 5 | 31 6 | 31 Which statement best describes the relationship shown by the data?
- The rate increases steadily without ever leveling off
- The rate increases at first, then levels off at higher light intensities
- The rate decreases as light intensity increases
- The rate stays constant across all light intensities
