- Structure of the Leaf for Photosynthesis
- Leaves are broad - Large SA exposed to light
- Chloroplasts found in palisade layer - near the top
- Upper epidermis - transparent and lets light in
- Waxy Cuticle helps reduce water loss
- Vascular bundles - transport products and needs of photosynthesis
- Leave efficient gas exchange - stomata let CO2 diffuse directly out
