NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer:Large Leaves Leave are the part of a plant that contains chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are structures that contain chlorophyll, a pigment that captures sunlight and allows the plant to make sugars. The larger the leaf surface a plant has, the more sunlight it can capture.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dark Green Leaves. Dark leaves absorb more light than pale leaves. Dark leaves help plants that live in shady environments absorb as much sunlight as they can! Dark green leaves are an adaptation to help the plant make food while in a shady environment.

Detailed explanation-3: -Leaf function The main function of a leaf is to produce food for the plant by photosynthesis. Chlorophyll, the substance that gives plants their characteristic green colour, absorbs light energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plants deprived of light will lose their color and die. The shoots exposed to “limited/no” sunlight had a yellow/white color due to the fact that photosynthesis could not occur. The lack of sunlight stunted photosynthesis and therefore the sprouts were not able to produce the chlorophyll needed to create a green color.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plants harvest energy from the sun with the help of chlorophyll and carotenoid, two photon-capturing molecules. But if the plants are exposed to too much sun, these molecules absorb more energy than they can handle and generate reactive species of oxygen that can destroy the plant.
