The Importance of Leaves
Chapter 19.1 Notes
• Blade- thin, flat part of leaf.
• Stalk-usually joins the leaf to the stem.
• Midrib-is the main vein of the leaf.

• Leaves are arranged
in 3 different ways.
• Alternate
• Opposite
• Whorled

• Waxy layer- protective layer, protects from water
loss & insects.
• Epidermis-is the outer layer of cells of a plant.
• Palisade layer- the layer of long, green cells
below the upper epidermis (makes most of
food).
• Spongy layer- below palisade layer is a layer of
round, green cells. Has air spaces.
• Stoma- is a small pore or opening in the
epidermis allows air and water to go in and out.
• Guard cells- are green cells that change the size
of stoma in a leaf. Found on either side of
stoma.

• Transpiration- the process of water
passing out through the stomata of leaves.
• Wilting- is when a plant loses water faster
than it can be replaced.
Chapter 19.2 Notes
• Photosynthesis- is the process in which
plants use water, carbon dioxide, and
energy from the sun to make food
Sunlight
• 6 CO2 + 6H2O
C6H12O6 + 6O2
• Carbon dioxide + water = sugar + oxygen

Common pigments colors in leaves
Red
Yellow
Green
Why do leaves change color?
Flow of sap in the stem slows down
Temperature drops
Less sunlight
Chlorophyll breaks down
