It depends on how the leaves are modified, but probably not. Most leaf modifications will decrease photosynthetic output due to increased storage capacity or defense against predators (needles). The ants probably wouldn't affect photosynthesis because the leaves aren't generally modified for greater photosynthesis anyway.

Photosynthesis helps in the being of plants as well as other living creatures. It helps in formation of gases and absorb harmful gases like CO2. It provies the chrorophyll in the leaves which enables the animals to eat them as food.


Why don't tomatoes have chloroplasts?

Tomato fruit was created by the photosynthesis that occurred in the leaves of the plant itself. This is where the chlorophyll is situated. Specifically the stoma of the plant cell. The chlorophyll contained in these leaves allows sunlight to be converted into the energy required for the plant to grow. All plants grow to reproduce (unless genetically modified) and by producing fruit such as a tomato, the plant is able to do this with the seed contained in the fruit, and therefore continue its lineage.
