Question

What are the adaptations of leaf for photosynthesis?

• A. Leaves provide large surface area for maximum light absorption
• B. Leaves are arranged at right angles to the light sources in a way that causes overlapping
• C. The extensive network of veins enables quick transport of substances to and from the mesophyll cells
• D. All of the above
• E. Presence of numerous stomata for gaseous exchange

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

The adaptations of leaf for photosynthesis are as follows:
(a) Leaves provide large surface area for maximum light absorption. Which help them to absorb more photons.
(b) Leaves are arranged at right angles to the light source in a way that causes overlapping for absorption of more light.
(c) The extensive network of veins enables quick transport of substances to and from the mesophyll cells.
(d) The presence of numerous stomata for gaseous exchange, which helps them to absorb more $C{O}_2$.
(e) The chloroplasts are more in number on the upper surface of leaves, as more light exposure on the upper surface.

So, the correct answer is option D.
