Why Plants Need Leaves
• A plant’s leaves make up its leaf system• What is a SYSTEMSYSTEM?
– A system consists of parts that work together
• Leaves come in all shapes and sizes and help make food = a kind of sugar called GLUCOSE
• Make food through
Why Plants Need Leaves (continued)
• Carbon dioxide is a gas in the air that enters the plant through tiny holes on the underside of the leaves.
• Water passes from the soil through roots and stems into each leaf.
• The leaves change the carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen.
• Oxygen goes out from the plant through the same holes on the lower surface of the leaves.
Other Ways Leaves Help Plants
• Help plants balance water– Let out water through holes – Have wax or fuzzy coatings to keep
water in• May help protect plant
– Poisonous– Sharp– Tough to chew
