Study Notes
- Leaves have three primary functions: photosynthesis, transpiration, and reproduction.
Photosynthesis
- Green leaves create food for plants using water and carbon dioxide.
- Photosynthesis requires the presence of sunlight.
Transpiration
- Leaves remove excess water from plants.
- This occurs through tiny pores called stomata.
Reproduction
- Leaves of some plants aid in reproduction.
- For example, Bryophyllum leaves can produce new Bryophyllum plants.
