Q

How are leaves designed for photosynthesis

A

Leaves are flat and thin so sunlight can get through them also leaves have tiny holes called stomata the allow oxygen out and carbon dioxide in.

17
Q

What do leaves need to photosynthesise

A
  • carbon dioxide
  • water
  • chlorophyll
  • sunlight
18
