Plants are autotrophs, organisms that produce their own food through the process of photosynthesis. The chemical reaction that describes photosynthesis is shown below. How does reducing the amount of light energy affect the products of photosynthesis?

Reducing the amount of light energy also reduces the rate at which products are formed.

Explanation:

According to this question, plants due to their ability to capture light energy using their chlorophyll pigment are said to be autotrophs i.e. perform photosynthesis to obtain their food. Photosynthesis is a process that requires light energy from the sun, and it can be measured by the amount of O2 and glucose produced as PRODUCTS.

However, in a case where the amount of light energy is reduced, this means that the amount that will be captured by chlorophyll will be low, hence, reducing efficiency. This means that reducing the amount of light energy also reduces the rate at which products are formed.
