An organ is made up of tissues, and tissues are made up of specialized cells. Each leaf has many tissues, made of cells like mesophyll cells and others. Therefore, because a leaf is made of tissues, it itself is not a tissue, it's an organ. Organs are also described as performing specific tasks for an organism and, leaves carry out photosynthesis for plants.

Would a leaf function as an organ organ system or tissue to make food for a plant?

A leaf functions as a tissue in a plant, specifically as part of the plant's organ system for photosynthesis. The leaf contains chlorophyll, which absorbs sunlight and utilizes it to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, the plant's food source.

Why is a leaf a leaf?

A leaf is a leaf because it is a flattened, thin plant organ that is typically attached to a stem and functions in photosynthesis and transpiration. Leaves are specialized structures that have evolved to maximize the plant's ability to capture sunlight for energy production.


How does a leaf make a very efficient organ for photosynthesis to take place?

Leaf is an important organ in a plant, for it is here that the plant makes its food.The leaf cells are highly specialized to carry out the process of photosynthesis.It digests food, assimilates, excretes water (transpiration), carries on respiration, & sends its surplus food to other parts of the plant.


The plant organ that holds most of a plant's chloroplasts in position to receive sunlight is the?

The plant organ that holds most of a plant's chloroplasts in position to receive sunlight is the leaf. Leaves are specialized organs for photosynthesis, and their flat, broad shape and arrangement on the plant allow for maximum light capture. Chloroplasts are concentrated in the cells of the palisade and spongy mesophyll layers of the leaf to optimize light absorption for photosynthesis.


Is a leaf an organ that makes food for the plant?

Yes the leaf is the main component in providing food for the plant. It contains chloroplasts which use light from the sun to create sugars for the plant that it stores and uses to make energy for the plant to function.
