As light intensity slowly decreases in a forest, what will most likely happen to the rate of photosynthesis in the forest?

Question

Responses

It will stop with decreasing light intensity.
It will stop with decreasing light intensity.

It will speed up with decreasing light intensity.
It will speed up with decreasing light intensity.

It will slow down with decreasing light intensity.
It will slow down with decreasing light intensity.

It will continue to happen at a normal pace.

Answer 1

It will slow down with decreasing light intensity.

As light intensity decreases, the rate of photosynthesis typically decreases as well, since light is a crucial factor in the process. Although photosynthesis can occur at lower light levels, the overall rate will decline as light availability diminishes.
