Investigating the comparison of stomata density on leaves from shaded areas of a plant to those from parts in bright light Conclusion The results obtained from the experiment show a higher stomata count in the leaves picked in areas of light than the leaves picked from shaded areas. The average stomata count in leaves from areas of light is 12.33 while the average stomata count in leaves picked from shaded areas is a lower 8.33. This trend occurs because of the process of photosynthesis. Plants photosynthesise using a chemical called chlorophyll (found in chloroplast) to capture light energy and convert it into carbohydrates such as glucose, this makes light intensity to be a major factor in the process of photosynthesis. From this equation the statement of an increase in light will increase the rate of photosynthesis can be derived. The equation above also shows the need for CO gas to...
