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.

4. electrons flowing along the electron transport chain

Explanation:

Oxidative phosphorylation is made up of two closely connected components: the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis. During chemiosmosis, the energy stored in the gradient is used to make ATP. Electrons are passed from one member of the transport chain to another in a series of redox reactions. The proton gradient generated by proton pumping during the electron transport chain is a stored form of energy. When protons flow back down their concentration gradient (from the intermembrane space to the matrix), their only route is through ATP synthase, an enzyme embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
