What is the main purpose of leaves?
A
Perform photosynthesis
B
Transport food and water
C
Absorb water
D
All of these
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plants are autotrophs, which means they produce their own food. They use the process of photosynthesis to transform water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide into oxygen, and simple sugars that the plant uses as fuel.

Detailed explanation-2: -When it comes to photosynthesis, the most important parts of the plant are the leaves. Their cells and structures are specialized to take in light and allow for gas exchange with the air around them. They also contain vascular structures that transport water from the roots into the cells that carry out photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: Leaves are designed and adapted to allow photosynthesis to take place. They are flat and broad to capture as much of the light energy from the sun as possible. They also contain lots of tiny holes called stomata which allow for the absorption of carbon dioxide and the release of oxygen.

Detailed explanation-4: -All leaves change sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. The leaves are the primary food-making part of the plant. Leaves absorb carbon dioxide from the air, combine it with water that comes through the roots of the plants to make food (a sugar molecule known as glucose), and release oxygen into the air.

Detailed explanation-5: -The main functions of leaves are photosynthesis, exchange of gasses and transpiration.
