Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

How do plants adapt to low light conditions in terms of photosynthesis?
Correct Answer: Plants increase chlorophyll concentration.
  • Step 1: Understand that photosynthesis is the process plants use to make food using light.
  • Step 2: Know that in low light conditions, plants need to find ways to capture more light.
  • Step 3: Learn that one way plants do this is by increasing the amount of chlorophyll, which is the green pigment that helps absorb light.
  • Step 4: Realize that with more chlorophyll, plants can capture more light energy even when it's dim.
  • Step 5: Recognize that this adaptation helps plants continue to produce food and survive in low light environments.
  • Photosynthesis Adaptation – Plants modify their physiological and biochemical processes to optimize light capture and energy production in low light environments.
  • Chlorophyll Concentration – Increasing chlorophyll levels enhances the plant's ability to absorb available light for photosynthesis.
