how do plants use there leaves to survive?

Answer 1

the leaves absorb sun light from te sun and convert it to food and energy in a process called photosynthesis.

Answer 2

The leaves use sunlight to power photosynthesis. The result of photosynthesis is that the carbon dioxide in the air, and other chemicals in the water and soil, are converted to organic compounds which comprise the plant material. That's how the plants grow. And that helps us in a lot of ways. For example one by product of photosynthesis is oxygen, without which we couldn't breathe.

Plants don't actually need leaves to survive. For example, look at a tree whose leaves fall off in the fall. It survives the winter fine without leaves. They only need leaves to grow.

It would be interesting to see how long a tree could survive in an extended winter. Maybe a laboratory could make a 10-year winter, and see which trees survived through it. Maybe it should be called a whitehouse, as the opposite of a greenhouse.

Answer 3

Leaves allow for photosynthesis. Chlorophyll in the leaves uses the sun's energy to synthesize (or combine) organic materials... specifically carbohydrates. It combines materials from carbon dioxide, water, and salts into materials it can use, again such as carbohydrates. This is why a plant will actually use carbon dioxide (waste from human respiration) to survive off of, and in turn it produces oxygen as a waste (neccessity in human respiration).

Answer 4

The leaves are where plants perform photosynthesis (converting sunlight to food).

Answer 5

plants use there leaves to survive buy collecting sunlight and turning sunlight into food called photosynthesis. and then they release a byproduct called oxygen.

Answer 6

Well the plants uses it's leaves to get oxygen,receive sunlight and make its own food.

Answer 7

their leaves act as a filter and like our lungs they take in carbon dioxide and put out oxygen that we need to breathe and they also contain chloryphil that is made by photosynthesis and that is their food. ya I just got out of biology class lol

Answer 8

it provides them their food by a process called photosynthesis,,if I remember right from school. But then I graduated in1959 so they may have changed it to something else by now!!!
