What are the functions of leaves?

Answer 1

The main function of leaves is photosynthesis. In photosynthesis light energy is converted into chemical energy. The formula used to express photosynthesis is 6 co2 + 6 h2o ----- c6h12o6 + 6 o2. This formula states that six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water, with the energy from light, is transformed into one molecule of glucose and six molecules of oxygen.

As a side note, the formula for cellular respiration is c6h12o6 + 6 o2 ------- 6 co2 + 6 h2o + ATP. ATP is energy used by cells to do various things (cellular energy). And hi

Answer 2

The function of leaves is to photosynthesize, which means make food, for the plant to survive.
They are the things that make chlorophyll for the plants and trees. Without them the trees would die, therefore creating a world where none of the carbon dioxide would be recycled, and no oxygen. We would die without leaves making food for the trees. When winter comes, and the leaves fall off, the tree has stored up it's food, not unlike a squirrel gathering nuts for winter. That's what leaves are for.
To Catch Light which enables the Plant to Photosynthesise This converts Light and Carbon Dioxide too the Energy for the Plant to grow and reproduce and produce Oxygen as a Byproduct which is passed out of the Leaf as it takes in Carbon Dioxide. With out this happening there wouldn't be enough Oxygen in the World and People would die!!!
The functions of leaves in a plant is to collect sunlight and hold in chlorophyll
photosynthesis the capturing of carbon dioxide [co2] and turning it into oxygen [O2]
Photosynthesis, gaseous exchange and transpiration

Answer 3

The function of leaves is that it grows on trees and trees gives us oxygen/carbon dioxide to breathe in so we can live.
