Answer:

By the numbers, humans produce a lot of food—enough to provide every person on Earth 2,750 calories per day, exceeding almost all dietary recommendations.

There’s one glaring problem, however: Humans aren’t producing enough of the right food.

When researchers at the University of Guelph in Canada broke those calories down into different food groups, they found a shortage in production of the most important foods. In the long run, with the global population expected to balloon to about 10 billion people by mid-century, this could cause some serious problems.

Answer: Increased concentration of glucose in leaf cells

Explanation:

Based off the flowchart, the process that it's describing is photosynthesis because during this process sunlight and CO2 are taken in by a plant to produce glucose. If we are exposed to sunlight and are increasing the use of CO2, then there must be a higher concentration of glucose in the leaf cells. Glucose is a product of photosynthesis.
