they have a wide surface area so they can absorb maximum light energy from the sun in order for the process photosynthesis to occur Hope this helps! :)

Why do leaves have a large surface area?
Leaves are broad, thin and flat to provide a large surface area, to absorb sunlight for photosynthesis. :)
Do leaves have a low or high surface area to volume ratio?
high
3 meters wide with area surface of 30 what is the length?
10 m
If a rectangle is a 15 inches long and 8 inches wide what is its surface area?
Surface area of rectangle: 15 times 8 = 120 square inches
What is the surface area of a cube that's 7 cm wide?
294 cm^2
Why are leaves wide?
It's for photosynthesis, they're wide to have a large surface area to catch light from the sun x
Why do leaves have a big surface area?
leaves have a big surface area because then they can absorb all the possible light energy they can for photosynthesis.
Why do leaves have a large surface area?
Leaves are broad, thin and flat to provide a large surface area, to absorb sunlight for photosynthesis. :)
How can plants reduce their surface area of their leaves?
by curling them (:
Why have leaves a large flat surface?
The flat surface area of leaves are just because leaves have a function to perforn i.e. photosynthesis and the flat area increases the availability of sunlight which is a mandatory reuirement for the process.
How do leaves on a celery stalk effect the water movement?
it has a larger surface area the celery stalks with out leaves & surface area is an enzyme that speeds up the transpiration in the Xylem tubes
Do leaves have a low or high surface area to volume ratio?
high
Does the leaf have a large or small surface area to volume ratio?
the surface area of LEAVES depends. Pine needles and cacti have small surface areas banana leaves, philodendron leaves, and other tropical plants have gigantic ones. it all depends on where the plants are endemic to.
Leaf adaptation in wet and sunny habitat?
Leaf adaptations in wet and sunny habitat are mostly dependent on the surface area. Narrow leaves are ideal for dry areas which will limit the rate of transpiration while wide leaves adapt to wet habitats.
What are the adaptations of aquatic plants to photosynthesis?
Huge leaves with humongous surface area.
What is the surface area of a prism that is 5 in long 10 in wide and 15 in high?
Assuming a rectangular prism. The surface area is 550 square inches.
Why does a plant bother to make leaves flat?
Flat leaves have more surface area to be covered by sunlight, which is required for photosynthesis.
