How do shade plants perform photosynthesis?
Plants that get sunlight in the shade usually have long weak stems and smaller sparser leaves due to longer inter winds and a pale yellow color. This is a mechanism to increase the likeness that a plant will reach sunlight. RH A: Shade plants have bigger leaves that are thinner and have more chlorophyll. The leaves are bigger so when the sun does hit the leaves they absorb and store more sunlight for energy and they are smaller plants so they don’t need as much energy.
