How does the following favour increase photosynthesis?
(i) Large surface area of the leaf ………………………
(ii) The thinness of the leaf …………………
(iii) More numerous stomata …………………
(i) Large surface area of leaves allows more sunlight to fall on the leaves and thus maximum absorption of light which favours increase rate of photosynthesis.
(ii) If the leaf is thin, then there would be rapid transport as the distance between the cells would be less thus facilitating increased photosynthesis rate.
(iii) Presence of numerous stomata would allow rapid exchange of gases i.e. oxygen is given out and carbon dioxide is taken in, thus increasing photosynthesis rate.
