How are leaves of a plant adapted to enable photosynthesis?
Leaves have 4 main adaptations which enable them to carry out photosynthesis successfully.
1) Thin - this allows carbon dioxide to easily diffuse into the leaf cells
2) Transparent epidermis - this allows light to reach the palisade cells
3) Large surface area - allows lots of light to be absorbed
4) Waxy surface - protects the leaves without blocking out light
