❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What makes leaves green?
Leaves look green because chlorophyll absorbs red and blue light and reflects green, which is the color we see.
What is photosynthesis and where does it occur?
Photosynthesis is how plants convert light energy, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose (food) and oxygen. It mainly happens in chloroplasts inside leaf cells, especially in the mesophyll.
What is leaf anatomy and why is it important?
Leaves have structures like the epidermis, palisade and spongy mesophyll, veins, and stomata. Each part supports protection, light capture, gas exchange, and water transport.
Why do leaves change color in autumn?
As days shorten and temperatures drop, chlorophyll breaks down and other pigments (carotenoids, anthocyanins) become visible, producing fall colors.
What is the role of stomata and transpiration?
Stomata are tiny openings that regulate gas exchange and water loss. Transpiration pulls water from roots to leaves and helps cooling.
