Q

Can you suggest how leaves are adapted for quick diffusion of carbon dioxide to reach all cells for photosynthesis?

A

1 lots if stomata to let co 2 in and water and oxygen out
2 leaves are thin so there is a small distance fir them to diffuse over
3 there are air spaces inside the leaf - gases diffuse faster in the air than they do straight through cells
