 FEATURES OF LEAVES

 A large surface area helps the leaf to absorb as much sunlight as

possible.
 Leaves are thin, minimising the distance for carbon dioxide to
travel into leaf cells.
 A midrib provides strength throughout the leaf, keeping it upright
and sturdy in the wind.
 Chlorophyll is the green pigment that absorbs sunlight.
 Veins transport water and glucose around the plant.
 The petiole attaches the leaf to the plant’s stem.
 Stomata are tiny openings or pores, which allow carbon dioxide
to enter and oxygen to exit the leaf.
