Does light factor affect the distribution of organisms? Write a brief note giving suitable examples of either plants or animals.

(N/A) Yes,light is a critical abiotic factor that significantly influences the distribution of organisms.
$1$. Plants: Since plants produce food through photosynthesis,which requires sunlight as an energy source,light availability determines their growth. Many small plants (herbs and shrubs) in forests are adapted to photosynthesize optimally under low light conditions because they are overshadowed by tall,canopied trees. Additionally,many plants depend on sunlight to meet their photoperiodic requirements for flowering.
$2$. Animals: For many animals,light is crucial as they use diurnal and seasonal variations in light intensity and duration (photoperiod) as cues for timing their foraging,reproductive,and migratory activities.
