Which of the following is NOT a feature of typical leaves?

Question

a) are thin and flat
b) are often layered in forest canopies to maximize exposure to light
c) may exhibit solar tracking, moving to follow the sun
d) have a small surface area and a huge volume
e) possess specialized cells for trapping light and performing photosynthesis

Answer 1

D.

I have houseplants that move with the sun.

Besides, D is in direct contradiction to A.
If a leaf is thin and flat, it cannot have a small surface area and a huge volume.

Answer 2

a) are thin and flat
-this is generally true, although in some cases, it may be false.
b) are often layered in forest canopies to maximize exposure to light
-i believe this is true. the leaves need sunlight to undergo photosynthesis and other cycles.
c) may exhibit solar tracking, moving to follow the sun
- i think this is also true, and has been proven if i am not mistaken.
d) have a small surface area and a huge volume
-i'm not so sure about this one. if i had to pick an answer, i would choose this one.
e) possess specialized cells for trapping light and performing photosynthesis
-yes, this is true. they have chloroplasts which can convert the light energy.

Answer 3

The function of leaves is to maximize the amount of sunlight absored by the plant thus all answers must allow the maximum amount of sunlight to be absorbed by the plant.

a) yes, flat so max surface area for absorbtion
b) yes, max exposure
c) yes max absorbtion again
d) no, small surface area reduces absorbtion
e) yes without this the plant cant absorb at all

thus the ans: (d)
