- Adaption of Leaves for Gas Exchange
- Leaves are broad so large SA
- Thin so gases only have to travel a short distance
- Air spaces letting gases move easily between cells
- Stomata allow gases to diffuse in and out and let water out - transpiration
- Stomata close when dark or water from roots dry up- no photosynthesis, leaf does not dry out
- Opening and Closing of Stomata controlled by the guard cells
