Which effect increases when shade-tolerant plants experience sudden, intense light?

💡 Explanation

When shade-adapted plants are exposed to high light, photoinhibition occurs because the rate of damage to the D1 protein in photosystem II exceeds the repair rate, inhibiting photosynthetic reaction centers. Therefore, photoinhibition increases, rather than pigment synthesis, CO2 uptake, or CAM carbon fixation, which require different regulatory and environmental cues.
