What purpose do the leaves serve?

Answer 1

the purpose of a leaf is to catch sunlight to preform photosynthesis.

Leaves are organs made of cells and tissues. The plant uses the leaves to make sugar (the plants food).

Chloroplasts give green color to the leaves. This is where the photosynthesis happens.

Answer 2

The purpose of leaves on a plant is to create glucose (sugar), which is the plant's supply of food. Leaves contain chloroplasts, which contain chlorophyll, which is a green substance that traps sunlight energy. Water is taken into the plant through the root hairs and travels up the xylem (a tube inside the stem that transports water) into the leaves. Carbon dioxide is let in through the stomata on the undersides of the leaves (stomata are tiny holes in a leaf that let gases in and out). The carbon dioxide and water are combined, using up the sunlight energy, creating glucose. A waste product is made during the process - this is oxygen. It is let out of the plant through the stomata.

The glucose is carried out of the leaves through the phloem (tubes inside the stem) to other parts of the plant to be used. Some is also stored in leaf cells and in the roots of the plant.

Leaves are thin to allow maximum sunlight penetration. They have a wide surface area for maximum sunlight exposure.

This process of plants making food is called photosynthesis, which means 'making food with light'. Without this process, there would be no life on Earth; the process creates oxygen, which is what we need to breathe to survive.

I really hope this helped.

Answer 3

Leaves perform photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy for the plant. They also help regulate water loss through transpiration and provide a site for gas exchange. Additionally, leaves can store nutrients and protect the plant from pests and diseases.

Answer 4

to produce food via photosynthesis and release oxygen through the 2 guard cells that make up the stomatal openings in the leaf.

Answer 5

They are designed to keep the earth green & make us not be lazy when they fall in the fall.

Answer 6

they help shelter the trees the keep them moist and stop the trunk getting burnt
