To maximise the surface area for photosynthesis, plants increase the size of their leaves
These plants grow in shady places have broad leaves because in shady places there is less amount of light and broad leaves can absorb maximum amount of light.....
Plants with broad leaves are typically referred to as broadleaf plants. Broadleaf plants include a wide variety of species such as maple trees, oak trees, sunflowers, and hostas. Broad leaves are advantageous for capturing sunlight for photosynthesis and are common in temperate and tropical regions. They contrast with narrow leaves, which are typically found in grasses and conifers.
Plants with broad leaves (maple, some oaks, elms) will freeze when the cold weather comes because the sap will have greater exposure to low temperatures. Pine trees have adapted by having "needle" leaves, which do not expose such a large surface to low temperatures.
False. Two large groups of plants could be seed plants and seedless plants, or vascular and nonvascular plants. All plants have leaves of some kind or another.
No they don't. What kind of trees are coniferous? It means, cone bearing. So, the most familiar kind of cone on a tree is the pine cone. What kind of leaves do pine trees have? They have needles, very narrow leaves that do not drop off in the fall, but stay on all year. Some conifers, such as the Larch, drop their leaves in the Autumn, but they do not have large broad leaves.
The shape of leaves, whether broad or spiky, is primarily an adaptation to their environment. Broad leaves are often found in areas with ample sunlight and water, maximizing photosynthesis and capturing light efficiently. In contrast, spiky leaves, such as those of some succulents or cacti, reduce water loss and protect against herbivores, making them suited for arid or harsh conditions. These adaptations help plants survive and thrive in their specific habitats.
The three adaptations that permitÊplants to catch Êas much light as possible are smaller leaves, chloroplast mainly in the palisade mesophyll cells. Finally there areÊmore proteins in chloroplasts.
it is found that leaves of plant with broad blades can absorb sound and this technique is used in controlling sound pollution. The root formation of plants is very alike to the hearing mechanism of humans. :)
No. There are many leaves for many plants. Just go look outside. Are the leaves on the trees the same as the leaves and the bushes? Flowers? Plants? No. There are many leaves for many plants. Just go look outside. Are the leaves on the trees the same as the leaves and the bushes? Flowers? Plants?
Chloroplasts are primarily found in the leaves of plants, particularly in the mesophyll cells, which are located between the upper and lower epidermis. Broad, flat leaves, such as those of broadleaf plants like oak or maple, contain a high concentration of chloroplasts to maximize light absorption for photosynthesis. Additionally, some aquatic plants also possess chloroplasts in their leaves to facilitate photosynthesis in submerged environments.
Leaves that have a small surface area lose less water.
There are some differences in the leaves of each variety. Cannabis indica plants typically have broad leaves and are often very dark in colour. The leaves are shorter than those of those of cannabis sativa but longer than ruderalis. Typically there are 3-5 blades per leaf. Cannabis sativa plants typically have long, thin, pointy leaves with 6-12 blades per leaf. Usually, the leaves are light green in colour. Cannabis ruderalis plants typically have small broad leaves with 4-6 blades per leaf. The leaves are dark green in colour.
