Light Dependent Reactions in Photosynthesis

Question 3 • 41111de1 ECAD Fall 2026 - Q2 - NM-Biology - S1

A scientist notices an increase in the glucose production in the plants he is studying. What are the possible reasons? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
The plant was exposed to more intense light.
B
The plant was exposed to less intense light.
C
The plant absorbed more carbon dioxide.
D
The plant absorbed less carbon dioxide.
E
The plant absorbed more oxygen.
F
The plant absorbed less oxygen.

Explanation

Plants make glucose during photosynthesis, which uses light energy and carbon dioxide. More intense light can increase the rate of photosynthesis, and absorbing more carbon dioxide can also provide more material for glucose production. Less light or less carbon dioxide would tend to limit glucose production; oxygen absorption is not what drives this process.
