Chlorophyll Limiting Factor Photosynthesis Amount Plant Affected Disease

Front How can chlorophyll be a limiting factor of photosynthesis?
Back The amount of chlorophyll in a plant can be affected by disease (like TMV) or environmental stress (lack of nutrients). These factors can cause chloroplasts to become damaged or to not make enough chlorophyll. This means the rate of photosynthesis is reduced because they can't absorb as much light.
