1. Chlorophyll is present in both the shaded and illuminated parts of the leaf.
2. Photosynthesis occurs at an accelerated rate in the shaded parts of the leaf.
3. Carbon dioxide and water can enter cells in both the shaded and illuminated parts of the leaf.
4. Shading part of the leaf increases the rate at which photosynthesis occurs in the illuminated part of the leaf.

Answer:

Option 5. Equal amounts of starch can be achieved only if starch moves from an area of high starch production to an area of lower starch production.

Explanation:

As the biologist predicts the part of the leaf that is shaded that other leaves he is referring to the fully illuminated part of the leaf.

  • The amount of starch will be found on the shaded part of leaf also. The biologist is likely to make the prediction The Chlorophyll is found on both the shaded and illuminated parts of the leaf.
  • As photosynthesis does not take place at night. Hence the option 1 is correct.
