question 1-3
a student provides a plant with an increased amount of water. based on the process of photosynthesis, how would this change most likely affect the production of substances plant?
increase glucose
decrease oxygen
increase light energy
decrease carbon dioxide
Photosynthesis uses water, carbon dioxide, and light energy to produce glucose (a sugar) and oxygen. Water is a reactant in this process; increasing available water (assuming other reactants/conditions are sufficient) would support more photosynthesis, leading to greater glucose production. Oxygen is a byproduct, so it would increase, not decrease. Light energy is an input, not a product, so it can't be increased by adding water. Carbon dioxide is a reactant, so it would be used more, not decreased in production.
