Answer:

All plants and algae need light to photosynthesise. Plants compete for light by growing quickly to reach it and often shade other plants with their leaves.

there are 3 limiting factors in photosythesis

1 light

2 CO2

3 temperature

so when one of these is removed from a plant the photosynthesis rate stops or decreases then stops leading to a plant to obviously stop growing. so when light is taken away, and there is shade, the limiting factor is therefore light and so photosythesis stops.

hope that makes sense
