: '''Leaves''' contain [[Cell (Biology)|cells]] with many [[chloroplast]]s for [[photosynthesis]].
: '''Leaves''' have [[air]] gaps between the [[Spongy Mesophyll Cell|spongy mesophyll cells]] to allow [[Gas Exchange in Plants|gas exchange]].
: [[Xylem Tissue]] transports [[water]] to the '''leaves''' for [[photosynthesis]].
: '''Leaves''' usually have more [[Guard Cell|guard cells]] and [[Stoma|stomata]] on the underside (lower epidermis) than the top side (upper epidermis).
