Leaf mosaic; to expose every leaf to sunlight
Thin cuticle; to reduce the distance over which carbon (IV) oxide diffuse
into the photosynthetic cells.
Guard cells;surrounds the stomata; controls opening and clossing of the stomata.
Veins; Xylem; transport water to the photosynthetic cells while phloem translocates synthesised food to other parts of the plant
