. A researcher brings you two leaves from a single tree and asks
you to analyze their photosynthetic and respiratory properties.
Leaf 1 is much thicker (thicker cuticle and thicker palisade
mesophyll) than leaf 2. Leaf 1 has a greater investment in RUBISCO,
while Leaf 2 has more investment in light harvesting complexes.
Draw a figure that depicts the differences you expect to see in the
photosynthetic rates for leaf 1 and leaf 2. Be sure to label all
axes and identify significant points. Finally, in what type of
environment would you expect to find each leaf and why did you pick
that environment given the descriptions above?
