1 Cells have chloroplasts. The green chlorophyll traps light energy.

2 This is the inside of a leaf. The top cells have many chloroplasts and no gaps. Air spaces let gases move around. Veins bring water to the cells.

3 Thin, flat leaves catch light. They have a large surface area.

4 Leaves do not overlap.

5 Guard cells let in gases through pores called stomata but can close to stop the leaf wilting.

6 Stiff, woody stems hold leaves high to get light.

7 Climbing plants twist around objects or have special “roots” along their stems. They climb up to get light.

8 Evergreens keep their leaves all year.

9 Woodland plants grow early before trees block the light.

10 Water plants have gas filled structures to float near the surface where most light is.
