Answer:

This question appears incomplete

Step-by-step explanation:

This question appears incomplete. However, generally speaking, the higher the chloroplasts present in a plant, the higher the rate of photosynthesis that occurs in that plant. This is because chloroplasts are cellular organelles that serve as sites in which photosynthesis occur. They are found in green plants and green algae.

Photosynthesis is the process in which green plants produce there own food by absorbing sunlight from the atmosphere in the presence of carbon dioxide and water. Hence, it can also be said that an increase in the number of chloroplasts will lead to an increase in the amount of food produced by a plant (for itself).

From the description above, it can be said that the plant of a maple tree has a higher rate of photosynthesis and hence produced more food (for itself) than the leaf of a tomato plant.

Chloroplast also contain a green pigment called chlorophyll which is responsible for the green colour in green plants. Hence, an increase in the number of chloroplasts in a plant could indirectly imply greener plant. Hence, the plant of a maple tree could have greener leaf than the leaf of the tomato plant.
