Explanation:
The rate of photosynthesis increases.
The process of photosynthesis is energy-storing, it converts light energy into chemical energy, which is stored in the bonds of glucose. Thus an increase in light intensity would increase the rate of photosynthesis.
Further Explanation:
Photosynthesis is a chemical pathway that’s integral to producing energy in plants and other primary producers. Energy in the form of molecules of glucose is produced from light, water and carbon dioxide while oxygen is released.
Occuring in several complex steps, photosynthesis is a rate limited reaction, depends on several factors including carbon dioxide concentration, ambient temperature and light intensity; as more energy is retrieved from photons, I.e. particles of light, water is used as a reducing agent. Water supplies the chlorophyll in plant cell with replacement electrons for the ones removed from photosystem II.
Additionally, morewater (H2O) split by light during photolysis into H+ and OH- acts as a source of oxygen along with functioning as a reducing agent; it reduces more molecules of NADP to NADPH by providing H+ ions and produces molecules of the energy storage molecule ATP through an electron transport chain.
This occurs in the thykaloids, where pigment molecules like chlorophyll reside. Later, in dark reactions, NADP and NADPH are used in the Calvin cycle where monosaccharides or sugars like glucose are produced after the modification of several molecules. These store energy in their bonds, which can be released in respiration in the mitochondria.
