Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
As light intensity slowly decreases in a forest, what will most likely happen to the rate of photosynthesis?
A
It will slow down with decreasing light intensity.
B
It will continue to happen at a normal pace.
C
It will speed up with decreasing light intensity.
D
It will stop with decreasing light intensity.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -We also know that when the amount of chlorophyll decreases, the rate of photosynthesis decreases as well. Therefore, the rate of photosynthesis decreases when light intensity is low.

Detailed explanation-2: -As light intensity slowly decreases in a forest, what will most likely happen to the rate of photosynthesis? It will slow down with decreasing light intensity. In which way are photosynthesis and cellular respiration different? Photosynthesis used carbon dioxide, while cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide.

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: -what will most likely occur if the light intensity is reduced slightly during the next 48 hours? the rate at which oxygen is released from the plant will decrease.

Detailed explanation-5: -If photosynthesis came to an abrupt end, most plants would die within short order. Although they could hold out for a few days–or in some cases, a few weeks–how long they lived would largely be a factor of how much sugar they had stored within their cells.
