Answer:
Thickness and number of chlorophyll.
Explanation:
Shade-adapted plants differ from sun-adapted plants due to many characteristics such as thickness and number of chlorophyll. Sun leaves are more in thickness than shade leaves because they develop longer palisade cells. Shade leaves generally have more chlorophyll as compared to sun-adapted plants. Specific leaf area and root mass fraction of Shade-adapted plants are higher as compared sun-adapted plants due to large number of chlorophyll to harvest more sunlight for photosynthesis. Dark respiration is higher in sun-adapted plants when there is darkness as compared to shade-adapted plants which produce food in no direct sunlight.
