Best Answer

Leaves are made up of a stem (petiole), a leaf blade (lamina) and stipules which attach at the base of the stem.

Leaves contain an epidermis that covers the surface of the leaf, a mesophyll (located inside the leaf that is the primary location for photosynthesis in the plant), and an assortment of veins that run through the mesophyll. The veins are made up of xylems (tubes that bring water and minerals from the roots of a plant to the leaf) and phloems (tubes that move sap produced by phtosynthesis out of the leaf)
