Question

Explain how the internal parts of a leaf are adapted for photosynthesis.

Answer 1

Answer:

The adaptations of leaf for photosynthesis are:

1) Large surface area for maximum light absorption.

2) The presence of chlorophyll containing chloroplast.

3) Thin structure– Short distance for carbon dioxide to diffuse into leaf cells.

4) The stomata that allow carbon dioxide to diffuse into the leaf and oxygen to diffuse out.

5) A large network of veins to support the leaf and transport water, mineral ions and sucrose (sugar).
