The subject of this paper, sun leaves are thicker and show higher photosynthetic rates than the shade leaves, is approached in two ways. The first seeks to answer the question: why are sun leaves thicker than shade leaves? To do this, CO₂ diffusion within a leaf is examined first. Because affinity of Rubisco for CO₂ is low, the carboxylation of rib...
