Detailed explanation-1: -Answer:Large Leaves Leave are the part of a plant that contains chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are structures that contain chlorophyll, a pigment that captures sunlight and allows the plant to make sugars. The larger the leaf surface a plant has, the more sunlight it can capture.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dark Green Leaves. Dark leaves absorb more light than pale leaves. Dark leaves help plants that live in shady environments absorb as much sunlight as they can! Dark green leaves are an adaptation to help the plant make food while in a shady environment.

Detailed explanation-3: -Physiological adaptations in plants Physiological adaptations of plants are processes which allow them to compete. An example of this is the formation of poisons for defence. The nettle plant stings us when we brush the tiny needles on its leaves, which contain poison.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are three types of adaptation-structural adaptation, behavioural adaptation, and physiological adaptation.

Detailed explanation-5: -Waxy cuticles, trichomes (leaf hairs), sunken stomata, and other leaf adaptations also help reduce transpiration rates by keeping the leaf surface cool or protecting it from air currents that increase evaporation.
