Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which is the best hypothesis for the scientific question “How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis?”
A
Light intensity, CO2 concentration, and temperature are factors that determine the rate of photosynthesis.
B
Light intensity has no effect on the rate of photosynthesis.
C
If the distance between the source of light and the plant is increased, the rate of photosynthesis will decrease.
D
Light intensity has an impact on the rate of photosynthesis.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Which is the best hypothesis for the scientific question “How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis?” If the distance between the source of light and the plant is increased, the rate of photosynthesis will decrease. Which is required for the light-independent reactions in photosynthesis to occur?

Detailed explanation-2: -Research Question and Hypothesis Does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis in Elodea plants? Hypothesis: Yes, light intensity does affect the rate of photosynthesis. Too much light may cause plants to “burn out” while too little light will not provide enough light for optimal photosynthesis activity.

Detailed explanation-3: -The further the light moves from the plant, the fewer oxygen bubbles are produced by photosynthesis. The intensity of light at different distances from a light source can be described by the inverse square law.

Detailed explanation-4: -The rate of photosynthesis increases as light intensity increases: The greater the light intensity, the more energy supplied to the plant and therefore the faster the light-dependent stage of photosynthesis can occur.
