PDF-Leaf Pubescence: Effects on Absorptance and Photosynthesis in a Desert

Abstract The presence of leaf pubescence leaf hairs in Encelia farinosa a desert species of the Composite family reduces the absorptance of photosyntheticallj active radiation 400 to 700 nanome.

In this lab, the effects of plant photosynthesis were investigated by comparing the rates of photosynthesis of two plants, spinach and kale. The rate of photosynthesis was measured the number of leaf cutouts on the surface per minute. These floating leaf cutouts show that oxygen, a product of photosynthesis is produced. We found that the rate of photosynthesis for the spinach leaves was 8.6 cutouts per minutes, 1.4 less than that of the kale leaves (10 cutouts per minute.) This difference could be a result the different amounts of light absorbing chlorophyll present in each leaf, or a difference in vascular tissue sizes, which may affect the plant’s ability to absorb water for photosynthesis..
