In a situation whereby a plant is in an environment where light is not totally absent, the plant continues to photosynthesize at a slower rate.
Recall that photosynthesis is the process by which green plants make their own food in the presence of sunlight, chlorophyll, carbon dioxide and water.
In a low light, plants are forced to stretch towards the low light source. This is known as etiolation of plants.
Explanation: Some organisms obtain their energy from the sun by the process of photosynthesis. These organisms are known as phototrophs because they can make their own organic molecules using sunlight as a source of energy.
