1. (10 points) Photosynthesis occurs when carbon dioxide [CO2] enters a green leaf from the atmosphere and diffuses through small pores called stomata. The following data are given: . CO molecules diffuse through the stomata, a length of about L = 10 m. [1 m = 1 x 10-6m]. The total area of the leaf is 7.0 x 10-4 m. The total area of the stomata is 2.0% of the leaf area. The concentration of CO2 molecules in the atmosphere is 1.0 x 1022 mi/3 M The concentration of CO2 molecules within the leaf is about half the atmospheric value. The diffusion constant of carbon dioxide through air at 25C is D = 1.9 x 10-5 m/s. I: The concentration of CO2 within the leaf is 1.010 molecules/m II: The concentration gradient from the atmosphere to the leaf is III: The total area of the stomata is IV: The rate of CO2 uptake by a leaf, in molecules/s, is Show your calculations for full credit. 1.
