     • A single leaf cell may be designed to simply photosynthesize, or create sugars from the energy in light. Other cells are designed to carry these sugars to the phloem, a specialized tube for transporting the sugars to the rest of the plant. Still other cells are specialized to carry water, which eventually form a rigid tube, the xylem.

   What is a leaf cell?

   • A leaf cell, by definition, is any cell found within a leaf. However, there are many different kinds of leaf cell, and each plays an integral role in the overall function of the leaf and the plant itself. A single leaf cell may be designed to simply photosynthesize, or create sugars from the energy in light.

   What is the function of a leaf?

   • The function of a leaf is photosynthesis - to absorb light and carbon dioxide to produce glucose (food). The equation for photosynthesis is:

   How does the internal structure of a leaf promote photosynthesis?

   • The internal structure of the leaf is also adapted to promote efficient photosynthesis. When a plant is carrying out photosynthesis carbon dioxide needs to move from the air into the leaf. It does this by diffusing through small pores called stomata. At the same time oxygen moves out of the leaf through the stomata.

   What is the structure of a leaf?

   • A typical leaf has an outer (epidermal) layer, pores (stomata) surrounded by a pair of guard cells, middle tissue (mesophyll) where photosynthesis occurs and a vascular system that carries water and nutrients. Life on Earth depends on the process of photosynthesis, which happens inside the cells of the humble leaf.

   Guard cells control the size of the stomata so that the leaf does not lose too much water in hot, windy or dry conditions. The lower part of the leaf is a spongy layer with loose-fitting cells.

   Oct 28, 2020 · When a photon of light from the sun bounces into a leaf, its energy excites a chlorophyll molecule. That photon starts a process that splits a molecule of water. The oxygen atom that splits off from the water instantly bonds with another, creating a molecule of oxygen, or O.
