Occurs in the chloroplast of the leavesOccurs in the chloroplast of the leaves Leaf is thin Leaf is thin Very large surface area (ideal for Very large surface area (ideal for
diffusion/absorption). The larger the surface area diffusion/absorption). The larger the surface area the more sunlight can be absorbed.the more sunlight can be absorbed.
