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.

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.

The process consists of two stages namely;

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.

correct answer is option a.

tropopause, stratopause and mesopause have all in common aspect that is point of maximum temperature in its layer of the atmosphere. all layers of atmosphere observe abrupt change in temperature. tropopause is the boundary between troposphere and stratosphere. stratopause is the boundary between stratosphere and mesosphere. mesopause is the boundary between mesosphere and thermosphere. these all boundaries are ranges between altitude of 0 to 80 km.
