caused major alterations to the
atmosphere of Earth, turning it
from a hot and hostile planet
into one suitable for life.

The brighter the light, the more light energy there is,
so will photosynthesis be faster or slower?
More light energy means that photosynthesis will be faster.
If light intensity is too high plant cells can be damaged.
How is photosynthesis affected if this happens?
