A large asteroid impact occurs, kicking up dust that blocks the Sun and prevents plants from photosynthesizing. What would most likely happen as a result of the asteroid impact? More earthquakes would occur across the planet. Some plants would evolve to use dust as a source of food. Many plants would perform photosynthesis without sunlight. Many species would eventually die off because they lack a food source.

Answer:

Many species would eventually die off because they lack a food source.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis can be defined simply as the biological process of using light to synthesize food (in the form of glucose). It is a process that takes place in plants and involves the synthesis of sugar using inorganic products such as water and carbon dioxide.

[tex]6CO_2 + 6H_20 + (energy) → C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2[/tex]

The process consists of two stages namely;

  • Light reaction
  • Light independent reaction.

The products from the light reaction are utilized in the light-independent reaction.

Hence, without light energy, the process of photosynthesis cannot proceed and plants will not be able to manufacture foods. Without foods, many plant species would die off.

Answer:

I'm pretty sure it's D and not C.

Explanation:

Food (plant) sources would be reduced since the dust is blocking the sun and not allowing Plants to grow.
