Yes because they have more room to collect rain drops then the rain drops drip down to there roots so, yes they do get more water with larger and flatter leaves
For most plants, but not all, the leaves are the main place where energy is trapped from the sun. The leaves have a broad surface (flat shape) to catch as much of the sun as they can.
Leaves are broad and flat so that they can absorb large amounts of light energy from the sun, which is needed in order for photosynthesis (the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into glucose) to occur. The green colour signifies the fact that the plant contains chlorophyll, which is a pigment needed to trap light energy.
Broad and flat leaves have an advantage when it comes to capturing sunlight when there are not a lot of leaves available. This is one reason why aquatic plants such as lily pads have developed this feature.
a trellis to train plants to grow flat
the leaves of the plant contain the pigment chlorophyll, which allows the plant to take in energy from the sunlight. i also think the cells in the leaves are the ones that perfoms ATP to give the plant energy. but, technically even the roots are adapted for photosynthesis because that's the part that takes in water. Water plays a ver important role in photosynthesis.
The leaves on a water lily give a large surface area for photosynthesis as much of the rest of the plant is underwater.
The rainforest plants have big flat leaves so they can absorp lots of water.The desert plants don't have big flat leaves.
Moss plants have small, flat, thin leaves
needle-like leaves
they had flat teeth for eating leaves and plants
Many desert plants have flat leaves so your question is invalid.
The flat surface area of leaves are just because leaves have a function to perforn i.e. photosynthesis and the flat area increases the availability of sunlight which is a mandatory reuirement for the process.
no
Leaves are broad, thin and flat to provide a large surface area, to absorb sunlight for photosynthesis. :)
All living creatures are adapted to their environments, plants included. Some specific examples would be cacti in semi-arid deserts that have adapted towards extreme water conservation (no leaves, thick fleshy stems that hold water), deciduous trees in temperate forests that drop their leaves every fall to save energy during the winter months (when there is less light energy for photosynthesis) and water lilies that have large flat leaves that allow them to float on top of the lake waters.
Foliage leaves are the broad, flat leaves of plants that are typically green in color and used for photosynthesis. They are important for capturing sunlight and converting it into energy for the plant. Foliage leaves are usually the main type of leaves on most plants and trees.
Sunflowers produce large, flat green or greenish-purple leaves that are saw-tooth edged.
