  2. Functions of leaves. The function of a leaf is photosynthesis - to absorb light and carbon dioxide to produce glucose (food). The equation for photosynthesis is: \ (\text {carbon...

  3. Revise the structure of a leaf and how it has several adaptations for photosynthesis with this BBC Bitesize Biology KS3 guide.

  4. A chemical process used by plants to make glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water, using light energy. Oxygen is produced as a by-product of photosynthesis. Algae...

  5. Oct 11, 2023 · Transpiration Explained. The movement of water through a plant's xylem occurs due to the evaporation of water vapour from the leaves and the cohesive and adhesive properties exhibited by water molecules.

  6. Leaves, and the structures they contain, play key roles in photosynthesis. When it comes to photosynthesis, the most important parts of the plant are the leaves. Their cells and structures are specialized to take in light and allow for gas exchange with the air around them.

  7. Jul 27, 2022 · Water and dissolved minerals move up the xylem from the roots and into the leaf. Sugars produced in the leaf during photosynthesis move out of the leaf through the phloem and are translocated to other parts of the plant.

  8. Jul 31, 2022 · Transpiration is the loss of water from the plant through evaporation at the leaf surface. It is the main driver of water movement in the xylem. Transpiration is caused by the evaporation of water at the leaf–atmosphere interface; it creates negative pressure (tension) at the leaf surface.
