Look at the diagram showing a plant growing. What two things happen to the leaves when the plant grows?
-
They get the nutrients
-
They become green
-
They are larger and bigger
-
The leaves grow and die
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
As a plant grows, one of the things that happen to its leaves is that they become larger and bigger. This is because as the plant grows, it needs more surface area to carry out photosynthesis and absorb sunlight. The increase in size allows the leaves to capture more light energy and produce more food for the plant.
