Our existence is greatly thanks to the existence of leaves and their role in photosynthesis. Many people do not really think about this but it is a fact. Without green leaves that convert sunlight into energy which is absorbable in the form of starch, humans and other animals will not survive. The green picture that is found in leaves is called chlorophyll. During photosynthesis, this picture helps to capture sunlight which is later transformed to stored energy. This process is complex and reserved for another level. Let’s think about leaves for a second. There are many shapes of leaves and these shapes are a form of adaptations plants have to their surrounding environments. In the icy poplar regions, do not expect to see cacti with the thick leaves that offer them the protection they need against the desert heat.
