Question

How is internal structure of a leaf suitable for the process of photosynthesis?

Answer

A leaf consists of mesophyll cells (Palisade cells and Sponge cells), vascular tissues in veins, and stomata on the epidermis.
Mesophyll cells absorb sunlight as they contain chlorophyll. Vascular tissues confined in veins conduct water and minerals to mesophyll cells. Stomata carries out the function of exchange of gases. Through stomata CO2 enters into leaves which reaches to mesophyll cells by diffusion. Thus, all the tissues of leaf work in coordination to carry out the process of photosynthesis.
