Notes from NEET topper
3. Leaf:
-
Leaves are the primary sites for photosynthesis, where plants capture light energy and convert it into energy-rich sugars.
-
Leaf morphology varies among species but often includes a flat, thin blade and a petiole that attaches it to the stem.
-
The upper surface of leaves is usually more exposed to light, while the lower surface may have stomata for gas exchange.
