Question

Are your results from Procedure II and Procedure III consistent with research findings that there are differences in chlorophyll production and enzyme activity between shade-adapted leaves and sun-adapted leaves? Explain your reasoning. Cite your results from Procedure II and Procedure III to support your explanation.

     table one is here, it is split due to being on two pages   

Leaf Sample Type	Illumination Level	Oxygen Concentration Change Data (ppm)	Elapsed Time (s)	Oxygen Change Rate (ppm/s)
Sun- Adapted	0%	-12.97	40	-0.3242
Shade-Adapted	0%	-7.78	40	-0.1945

                    

Leaf Sample Type	Illumination Level	Carbon Dioxide Concentration Change Data (ppm)	Elapsed Time (s)	Carbon Dioxide Change Rate (ppm/s)
Sun- Adapted	0%	12.97	40	0.3242
Shade-Adapted	0%	7.78	40	0.1945

           

table 3=

Leaf Sample Type	Illumination Level	Oxygen Concentration Change Data (ppm)	Elapsed Time (s)	Oxygen Change Rate (ppm/s)
Sun- Adapted	15%	4.42	40	0.1105
Shade-Adapted	15%	7.59	40	0.1897

Answer 1

Yes , because more the chlorophyll gives more sites for photosynthesis to take place which effects the enzyme activity and results in more consumption of oxygen and increase in concentration of cabrondioxide as one of the products in photosynthesis that is clearly shown in tablets.

But sun-adapted leaf samples show more changes after the increase in illumination level while shade-adapted leaf simples donot show much differences in results.
