Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Increasing the intensity of light had what effect on photosynthesis?
A
It slowed it down
B
It sped up
C
It stayed the same
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A plant is exposed to an optimum amount of carbon dioxide, with a limited light intensity. As the intensity of light increases, the rate of photosynthesis increases.

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: -Light intensity Without enough light, a plant cannot photosynthesise very quickly-even if there is plenty of water and carbon dioxide and a suitable temperature. Increasing the light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis, until some other factor-a limiting factor-becomes in short supply.

Detailed explanation-4: -Light intensity influences the manufacture of plant food, stem length, leaf color and flowering. Generally speaking, plants grown in low light tend to be spindly with light green leaves. A similar plant grown in very bright light tends to be shorter, better branches, and have larger, dark green leaves.

Detailed explanation-5: -As light intensity increases, the rate of photosynthesis increases keeping other factors adequately supplied. The rate of photosynthesis is proportionate to the intensity of light.
