Which of the following would most likely increase the rate of photosynthesis?

a. changing a plant's light source to a lower brightness
b. decrease the availability of water to the plant
c. decreasing the temperature within the plant's environment
d. exposing a plant to a higher light intensity

D. Exposing a plant to a higher light intensity

Explanation:

Increase in light intensity serves to increase the rate of photosynthesis when other factors are present in adequate amount. It is due to the fact that the first phase of photosynthesis includes light dependents reactions that results in synthesis of ATP and NADPH in light dependent manner. These two products serve in dark phase of photosynthesis. Therefore, increase in light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis.

the overall balanced equation

6co2 + 6h2o > c6h12o6 + 6o2

sunlight energy

where: co2 = carbon dioxide

h2o = water

light energy is required

c6h12o6 = glucose

o2 = oxygen

what are the options
