Best Answer

* Make leaves have a maximal surface area and minimum volume so all chloroplast have exposure to sunlight. * Have the leave perpetually orientated so the top surface is always facing the sun. * Make all non-photo-synthetic material transparent. * Elevate the leaves above all other obstructions to the sunlight.

Plants make food in their leaves. The leaves contain a pigment called chlorophyll, which colours the leaves green. Chlorophyll can make food the plant can use from carbon dioxide, water, nutrients, and energy from sunlight. This process is called photosynthesis. When sunlight is present, chlorophyll combines it with water and carbon dioxide and creates energy through this process of photosynthesis.
