Plants adapted to low light intensity have:

Options

  1. Alarger photosynthetic unit size than the sun plants
  2. Bhigher rate of CO ₂ fixation than the sun plants
  3. Cmore extended root system
  4. Dleaves modified to spines.

Correct answer

A. larger photosynthetic unit size than the sun plants

Step-by-step solution

Shade tolerant plants have lower photosynthetic rates and hence, lower growth rates. On the other hand these plants have larger photosynthetic unit size than the sun plants.
