How does a leaf obtain its water?

A leaf obtains water through the process of transpiration, where water is absorbed by the roots from the soil and transported to the leaves through the xylem vessels. Once in the leaves, water is used in various metabolic processes and is also lost through small openings called stomata during transpiration.


What does a leaf need to make food for the plant?

A leaf needs sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to make food for the plant through the process of photosynthesis. Chlorophyll in the leaf captures the sunlight energy, which is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This process provides energy for the plant to grow and thrive.


Why does water roll off the surface of leaf?

Most leaves are coated in a waxy, waterproof substance that renders them hydrophobic, meaning that they repel water. Some leaves go even further with small bumps called papillae, too small to be seen by the naked eye. The papillae effectively trap bubbles of air, which the water can not displace, and that causes the water to roll off without making contact with the leaf. Think of it kind of like a hovercraft, which uses a pocked of contained air to keep itself above the water, but in reverse.


What are the homonyms of leaf?

Some homonyms of "leaf" include leave (to go away), and lief (willingly).


How is the leaf structured to carry out photosynthesis?

Plants use photosynthesis, water, and oxygen to create the things they need to survive, however plants cannot do this without its leaves. Especially when the leaves have to adapt to new environments. The leaves go through photosynthesis, which they can only do because they have chloroplasts in them, which convert the sunlight into food. The plants also have cuticles which help the leaves contain the water it absorbs.
