Q

How is a leaf adapted?

A

It has a waxy layer at the top to stop water from evaporating from the leaf,the cells from the top of the leaf have loads more chloroplasts because more sun hits this part so more photosynthesis can happen, holes (stoma) to let gases move into and out of the leaf and empty space to let CO2 flow more easily and O2 away from the cells more easily.
