Leaves are adapted for photosynthesis and gaseous exchange. The function of a leaf is photosynthesis, to absorb light and carbon dioxide to produce glucose (food).
The adaptations of leaf for photosynthesis are:
. Large surface area for maximum light absorption.
. The presence of chlorophyll containing chloroplast.
. Thin structure– Short distance for carbon dioxide to diffuse into leaf cells
. The stomata that allow carbon dioxide to diffuse into the leaf and oxygen to diffuse out
. A large network of veins to support the leaf and transport water, mineral ions and sucrose (sugar)
