How are leaves of submerged plants adapted for photosynthesis?
Answer Text: - Numerous chloroplast that are highly sensitive to trap light of low intensity- Deeply divided/ dissected leaves/branched leaves into straws to increase surface area hence trap more light and more gases.- Large air spaces for storage of air hence buoyancy and parenchyma tissue for storage of air.- Have no cuticle to facilitate exchange of gases rapidly.
