Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the best prediction of the relationship between light distance and the rate of photosynthesis?
A
There is no relationship between light distance and the rate of photosynthesis.
B
Distance between the light and the algae does not affect the rate of photosynthesis
C
The more distance between the light and the algae the greater the rate of photosynthesis.
D
The less distance between the light and the algae the greater the rate of photosynthesis.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The less distance between the light and the algae the greater the rate of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -As you rise from low light intensity to higher light intensity, the rate of photosynthesis will increase because there is more light available to drive the reactions of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis is the process in which light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of sugars. In a process driven by light energy, glucose molecules (or other sugars) are constructed from water and carbon dioxide, and oxygen is released as a byproduct.

Detailed explanation-4: -As the light levels are increased there is an increase in oxygen (bubble) production from photosynthesis of the plant.

Detailed explanation-5: -Choice (c) is correct. The products of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide and water, which are the raw materials for photosynthesis.
