The tables provided for "a. Mango leaves" and "b. Sunflower leaves" are empty, and therefore, there is no data available for the weights of the leaves at 0 minutes and 60 minutes. To calculate the overall percentage of water loss, I need the following data for both types of leaves: Initial weight of leaves at 0 minutes. Final weight of leaves at 60 minutes. Since this data is missing, I cannot perform the calculation. However, I can show you the formula and how the calculation would be done if the data were available: Formula for Percentage Water Loss: Percentage Water Loss = Initial Weight - Final WeightInitial Weight × 100\% Steps (if data were available): For Mango Leaves: 1. Find the initial weight of mango leaves at 0 minutes (let's call it W_M,0). 2. Find the final weight of mango leaves at 60 minutes (let's call it W_M,60). 3. Calculate the water loss for mango leaves: Water Loss_M = W_M,0 - W_M,60. 4. Calculate the percentage water loss for mango leaves: Percentage Water Loss_M = W_M,0 - W_M,60W_M,0 × 100\% For Sunflower Leaves: 11. Find the initial weight of sunflower leaves at 0 minutes (let's call it W_S,0). 12. Find the final weight of sunflower leaves at 60 minutes (let's call it W_S,60). 13. Calculate the water loss for sunflower leaves: Water Loss_S = W_S,0 - W_S,60. 14. Calculate the percentage water loss for sunflower leaves: Percentage Water Loss_S = W_S,0 - W_S,60W_S,0 × 100\% Overall Percentage Water Loss (if requested as a combined value): If "overall percentage water loss" refers to the total water loss from both types of leaves relative to their total initial weight: 1. Calculate total initial weight: W_Total,0 = W_M,0 + W_S,0. 2. Calculate total final weight: W_Total,60 = W_M,60 + W_S,60. 3. Calculate total water loss: Water Loss_Total = W_Total,0 - W_Total,60. 4. Calculate overall percentage water loss: Overall Percentage Water Loss = W_Total,0 - W_Total,60W_Total,0 × 100\% Please provide the weights from the tables if you would like me to perform the calculation.
