Botany
The tree investigated was the Quercus. Pinus, L. This was a very interesting tree. To find out all information on this tree, steps were taken by doing hands on work to determine height, age, circumference, leaf and stem differences. Taking layers off the epidermis of the leaf, a transdermal section along with a cross section was done to show differences in the sun and shade leaves. Chromatography and stomata counts were also done in the sun and shade leaves. Stem longitudinal sections were also used to show differences in sun stems and shade stems. By investigating the parts of the tree mentioned, also proved information that was noted for the Q. pinus. A computer was also used to find very accurate descriptions of this tree to help with data noted. Stomata counts showed the shade leaf produced more stomata than the sun leaf. The sun leaf also showed more chlorophyll than the shade leaf, showing more energy is trapped for photosynthesis in the sun leaf. The Q. pinus can grow from a range of fifty - hundred and fifty feet. Its native habitat is dry soils even though it is a moist driven tree. The Q. pinus is a tree that's fruit is not just utilized by squirrels, it's also used by other mammals including
(1998 ). Chestnut Oak Tree. Available: http://www.treeguide.com?Species.asp?SpeciesID=876&Region=World. (February 1, 1999). History of Chestnut Oak Tree. Available: The results of the chromatography were the shade leaf had less chlorophyll than the sun leaf, which had a much larger amount. Caratin was shown in both leaves about the same amount. The surface area average for the sun leaf was 9.5625. The surface area average for the shade leaf was 13.325. The longitudinal sections of the stems show vascular bundles and petioles in the sun leaf and leaf traces, and vascular bundles in the shade leaf.
