Write a short note on
A) Leaf modification
B) Photosynthesis
C) Transpiration and how it helps the plant

Answer 1

Answer:

Hello mate

Explanation:

1. Leaf modification :-

Leaves can be modified in the form of spines that reduce water loss and also act as a defence. Some are modified into tendrils to provide support to the plant. Some leaves are thick that help in water storage. Some are modified to catch and digest insects.

2. Photosynthesis:-

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and some microorganisms make substances like carbohydrates. It is an endothermic (takes in heat) chemical process that uses sunlight to turn carbon dioxide into sugars. Green plants build themselves using photosynthesis. Algae, protists and some bacteria also use it.

3. Transpiration and how it helps the plant :-

Transpiration helps in the conduction of water and minerals to different parts of the plants. Due to the continuous elimination of water from the plant body, there is a balance of water maintained within the plant. It maintains osmosis and keeps the cells rigid.
