CAIE IGCSE Biology 6.2.1 Most leaves have a large surface area
Practise recognising large, thin leaves as adaptations that increase light capture and shorten diffusion distances for photosynthesis.
How this is tested
- explain how a large surface area helps leaves absorb more light for photosynthesis
- link thin leaves to shorter diffusion distances for CO2 entering photosynthetic cells
