Photosynthesis is the process by which leaves absorb light and carbon dioxide to produce Carbohydrate for plants to growth.
Adaptations of a leaf for photosynthesis are as follows:-
1.Large surface area:-To absorb light.
2.Thin:-Short Distance for diffusion of Carbon dioxide (Co2).
3.Chlorophyll:- Absorb Sunlight.
4.Veins:-Support and transport of water and Carbohydrates.
5.Stomata:-These are pores to allow carbon dioxide to diffuse into the leaf and water to evaporate out.
6.Veins:-Veins contain xylem and phloem tissue.Xylem tissue carries water and minerals from the root to the leaves.Phloem tissue transports food from the leaves to rest of the plant.
7.Air spaces:-To reduce distance for Carbon dioxide to diffuse and to increase surface area of the gas exchange surface inside the leaf.

Answer:
1. Leaves have large surface area to absorb more sunlight.
2. Leaves are thin , hence carbon dioxide has only a short distance to diffuse into the cell.
3. Leaves have chlorophyll which get direct contact with sunlight while stomata present on the other side of leaves ,so the did not get direct contact with sunlight for less transpiration.
