Question:
Solution (explanation):
Within an ecosystem, we can find photosynthetic organisms such as plants. The general chemical reaction for photosynthesis is 6 carbon dioxide molecules and 6 water molecules, with the addition of solar energy. This produces 1 glucose molecule and 6 oxygen molecules. Therefore, if one of the reactants of the photosynthetic reaction, namely carbon dioxide, decreases, the amount of glucose (energy storage molecules) will decrease. Remember that energy storage molecules include glucose, starch, and fat.
Answer: we can conclude that the correct answer is:
Decrease in energy storage molecules.
