Textbook Question
Chapter 36, Problem 1TYK
If a plant has a phyllotaxy of alternate leaves that emerge at a 30° angle from each previous leaf, one can surmise that the
- a. leaves are most likely very broad, indicating that the plant grows where there is sufficient water.
- b. leaves are most likely very broad, indicating that the plant grows in low light levels.
- c. leaves are most likely very thin because due to emerging at such a close angle, they would have to be thin to avoid shading each other.
- d. the layers of leaves of the plant must be very thick with leaves spaced so close together, and lower leaves are most likely lost through self-pruning.
