How is a leaf adapted for photosynthesis?
Leaves have a large surface area so more light hits them. The upper epidermis of the leaf is transparent, allowing light to enter the leaf. The palisade cells contain many chloroplasts which allow light to be converted into energy by the leaf. The leaf also has air spaces which allow better diffusion of carbon dioxide into the leaf.
