Question

structure of leaf is complementary to its function . explain

Answer 1

Leaf has a flattened surface due to which it has a large surface area. There are present many stomata on the surface of leaf. This helps in gaseous exchange and transpiration. The veins of leaves carry the vascular bundles, thus helping in the function of transportation.

Answer 2

Answer:

Leaf is a flattened and thin structure of higher plants which perform functions like photosynthesis and transpiration.

Leaves have adapted their structure which complement their functions:

Large surface area: The flattened structure increases the surface area of the leaves so that more light falls on the leaves. It increases the rate of the photosynthesis.

Thin structure: The thin structure of the leaves helps in the diffusion or exchange of the gases between atmosphere and cells of the leaves.

Veins: these are structures which help in transportation of water and food.

Stomata: These are tiny pores present in the surface of leaves which help in exchange of gases and water.
