Will a leaf which is coated with wax be able to make its food and why?
Leaves depend on the sun to make food using a chemical called chlorella and if a leaf is coated with wax, sunlight cannot penetrate through the thick and opaque layer of wax and thus the leaf will not be able to make its food.
Which layer of leaf has the most chloroplast and why?
I believe that the palisade layer has the most chloroplast, because it has the chlorophyll which absorbs sunlight.
What is the outer cell layer of the leaf. It is transparent so sunlight can pass through?
The outer surface of the leaf has a thin transparent waxy covering called the cuticle
How might the rate of photosynthesis be affected by increasing the thickness of a leaf?
By increasing the thickness of a leaf the process of photosynthesis will become longer. This is because the sun has to penetrate through the leaf to the chloroplasts so that the chloroplasts can converge the sunlight into energy. If the thickness of the leaf is increased then the sunlight will take more time to penetrate through the leaf to reach the chloroplasts.
Why would the cells of the palisades layer have more chloroplast in them?
Palisade is present in the upper layer of the leaf that is exposed to sunlight, so it contains more chloroplast for more efficient photosynthesis.

Which layer is at the top or the bottom of the leaf?
Most chlorophylls are expected on the top side of the leaf where sunlight hits directly.

What is portion of the marine biome that is shallow enough for sunlight to penetrate called?
Sunlight can penetrate through the limnetic zone into the profundal zone.

Can sunlight penetrate the aphotic zone?
Yes it can
What part of the plant captures sunlight the leaf root or stem?
Leaf captures sunlight
What layer does sunlight strikes first?
The Earth's layer that sunlight strikes first is the ozone layer.
What layer of the rainforest sunlight that filters eighty percent of sunlight?
The Canopy layer
