Question

what are the function of leaf

Answer 1

Functions of the leaf

Chloroplasts are the tiny structures in plant cells where photosynthesis happens. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, a green pigment that absorbs light energy for photosynthesis. However, chloroplasts are not found in all plant cells. For example, they are not found in root hair cells. These cells absorb the water needed by the plant for photosynthesis. However, since they are usually underground and in the dark, they are unable to photosynthesise anyway

• The main function of a leaf is to produce food for the plant by photosynthesis.
• Chlorophyll, the substance that gives plants their characteristic green colour, absorbs light energy.
• The internal structure of the leaf is protected by the leaf epidermis, which is continuous with the stem epidermis.
