Question

DESCRIBE THE ADAPTION OF LEAF TO PHOTOSYTHESIS

Answer 1

Explanation:

Leaves are adapted for photosynthesis and gaseous exchange. They are adapted for photosynthesis by having a large surface area, and contain openings, called stomata to allow carbon dioxide into the leaf and oxygen out. ... Some of this water evaporates, and the water vapour can then escape from inside the leaf.

Answer 2

Answer: This may help you

Explanation:

The word you are looking for is “adaptations.” And there are numerous adaptations for photosynthesis. The plant has to have an organ containing the photosynthetic cells containing chlorophyll or other photoreceptors. These photosynthetic cells have to reach the available light which usually requires stems lifting the leaves to the light. They need a water transport system if they are terrestrial because photosynthesis requires water. They need a respiratory system which is very complex if they are terrestrial, because photosynthesis needs carbon dioxide. The plant supporting tissues are also metabolizing to live so they need oxygen and nutrients. This requires a root system or absorption system of some kind. In algae these structures are very simple. In an oak tree the entire plant is necessary for photosynthesis to produce the living tree.

So leaf adaptation is not just in the leaf because photosynthesis requires an entire living plant to function. In the leaf itself, the photosynthetic mechanism is structured in cells for maximum efficiency for all these processes to properly function. However the specific adaptations vary depending on the plant. Bryophytes are essentially just a leaf on a root and have the simplest adaptations for terrestrial life. However marine algae have the simplest adaptations in the plants. However, again, every plant adapts in different ways, arranging the cells containing the chlorophyll or other photoreceptor in different ways depending on environmental conditions. Adaptations include leaf shape, arrangement, or other structures, cell arrangement in the leaf for nutrient transport and light transmission. For example, a plant cannot cover its photoreceptors with opaque substances and the internal arrangement of the photoreceptive molecules has to provide an efficient amount of light to each molecule. Each of these molecules has to be structured with the supporting organelles to bring in nutrient and take away energy storage molecules. Every slight modification in structure and mechanis is an adaptation.
