Leaves and Photosynthesis

The Hibiscus Plant

This is a flowering plan that blooms Hibiscus flowers. The Hibiscus plant at my site is about 5 and a half feet. The plant is in direct contact with the sunlight. The leaves are thin. They have an abundant amount of vascular bundles to transfer the minerals to the plant's roots. Each of the leaves are about 3 inches or longer. The estimate of the amount of leaves in the plant is around two hundred fifty.

The Papaya Tree

At my site, the papaya tree is only about 3 and a half feet. The tree is too young to have sprouted any papaya fruits or small flowers. The tree was planted under another tree, but the plant is still in contact with the sunlight. Each of the leaves are about 30 centimeters. The leaves are quite huge, allowing it to absorb more photons. The tree has about fifteen leaves.
