C.

The rate of photosynthesis in the ‘sun’ keeps on increasing when compared to that of the
‘shade’. The shade-tolerant plants found here are capable of photosynthesis using light
at such wavelengths. In shade-tolerant plants they grow broader, thinner leaves to catch
more sunlight relative to the cost of producing the leaf.
D. The shade plant reached its maximum because it doesn’t receive a constant amount
of sunlight so therefore photosynthesis rates will remain the same. The sun rates kept
on increasing because the plant kept on receiving sunlight so therefore the plants intake
of sunlight given will help it increase the rate of making its food.
E. 0.05% is my prediction because as we see from the data taken from the graph the
rates aren’t as high so its expected that neither will the CO2 concentration will be
higher.
F. This is because the intake and rate is much higher than the other results and also
because the more sunlight it's more easier for the plant to perform photosynthesis like
that.
G. They remain in a horizontal position because the bigger surface area the better for
the plant to photosynthesise. It increases the possibility for it to photosynthesise better.
H.
a. Chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich
molecules, cell walls allow plants to have rigid structures as varied as wood
trunks and supple leaves and vacuoles allow plant cells to change size.
b. Chlorophyll, a green pigment found in chloroplasts, is an important part of the
light-dependent reactions. Chlorophyll soaks up the energy from sunlight. It is
also the reason why plants are green.
c. The larger shade leaves provide a larger area for absorbing light energy for
photosynthesis in a place where light levels are low.
