Question

As compare to sun plants, plants adapted to low light intensity possess

• A. High rate of $C{O}_2$ fixation
• B. Larger photosynthetic unit
• C. More extended root system
• D. Spiny leaves

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Larger photosynthetic unit

Plants adapted to low light intensity posses large leaf surface area, hence larger photosynthetic unit, so as to make up for the low light intensity by increasing the total area for its receptivity.

So, the correct answer is 'Larger photosynthetic unit'.
