How is the leaf adapted for photosynthesis?

How is the structure of a leaf adapted to make photosynthesis more efficient?

  • Answer:

    more chloroplast found on the upper layers of the leaf (eg. palisade mesophyll cells have more chloroplast than spongy mesophyll cells) 2. Leaf is thin to allow efficient diffusion of substances across the leaf eg. water and carbon dioxide for photosynthesis 3. Guard cells contain chlorophyll so that they can photosynthesis and produce sucrose thus causing water to diffuse into the guard cell via diffusion. This makes the guard cell tugid and pulls open the stomata for gaseous exchange eg. CO2 removed 4. vascular bundles in every leaf. Xylem and phloem. 5. cells of

Leaf adaptations for photosynthesis include a thin, flat, large surface area, transparent protective cuticle, stomata for gas exchange, vascular tissue for water delivery in xylem and sucrose export in phloem. Also, palisade cells are packed with chloroplasts.
