- flat (larger surface area) - thin (easy gas diffusion) - green pigmented chlorophyll (absorb light to turn into chemical energy) - Veins (provide support and transport water and nutrients to leaf and dissolved foods away)

1. Epidermal cells (1 cell thick and transparent, easy for light to go through) 2. Vascular Bundles - Water + nutrients (xylem) and dissolved food (phloem) transport 3. Stomata - (gas exchange). Water vapor and oxygen out, CO2 in. 4. Mesophyll - (spongy) gas exchange, (palisade) contain many chloroplasts
