In the context of organic chemistry, how is the rate of photosynthesis in plants affected when transitioning from day to night?
A
The rate of photosynthesis increases due to higher carbon dioxide levels at night.
B
The rate of photosynthesis remains constant as plants use stored energy.
C
The rate of photosynthesis increases due to increased oxygen production at night.
D
The rate of photosynthesis decreases because sunlight is not available at night.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that photosynthesis is a process that converts light energy into chemical energy in plants, primarily occurring in the chloroplasts.
Recognize that photosynthesis requires sunlight to drive the reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
Identify that during the night, sunlight is not available, which means the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis cannot occur.
Acknowledge that without sunlight, the rate of photosynthesis decreases because the energy source needed to power the process is absent.
Conclude that the correct statement is that the rate of photosynthesis decreases at night due to the lack of sunlight.
