leaf
Capture sunlight more effectively.
The most important function of a leaf is photosynthesis: the production of energy from sunlight, carbon dioxide and water. The shape of the leaf helps to maximize the sunlight receiving area and the veins in the leaf make it easier to move the raw materials and products of photosynthesis in and out of the leaf.
The green leaves are the bit that absorbs in the sun to make Photosynthesis.Also if you want to test for starch to boil the leaf till it goes white then drip some Iodine And look for a signs traces of starch. That is the long way to find out if the leaves are the ones who develop the phase of Photosynthesis. Hope this helps!
Leaf captures sunlight
One structure found only in a leaf cell is the chloroplast. Chloroplasts are responsible for the process of photosynthesis, where they convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose (sugar) and release oxygen as a byproduct. This unique structure allows leaf cells to capture and use sunlight energy to produce food for the plant.
The leaf cells are dorsi-ventrally oriented to capture maximum sunlight for photosynthesis. The tuber cells are clubed togather having very little freesurface area hence not suitable to perform the function of a leaf cell.
Deciduous
A leaf takes in sunlight and carbon dioxide.
root pockets...waxy coating on the leaf...high surface are to volume ratio that helps in floating n seeking sunlight
When the plant is kept in sunlight the starch is formed in leaf.
how do the leaf stalk help to ensure that the leaf had absorb enough sunlight in order to make food
