Leaves are broad, thin and flat to provide a large surface area, to absorb sunlight for photosynthesis. :)

The Alveoli
If the surface area of the organism is small, then there is no problem with getting all the oxygen needed. If the surface area of the organism is large, therefore a special respiratory surface is needed. An example is lungs, gills. The ratio of surface area to volume in a small organism is greater than the ratio in a large organism.
they have a wide surface area so they can absorb maximum light energy from the sun in order for the process photosynthesis to occur Hope this helps! :)
The flat surface area of leaves are just because leaves have a function to perforn i.e. photosynthesis and the flat area increases the availability of sunlight which is a mandatory reuirement for the process.
the surface area of LEAVES depends. Pine needles and cacti have small surface areas banana leaves, philodendron leaves, and other tropical plants have gigantic ones. it all depends on where the plants are endemic to.
The leaves on a water lily give a large surface area for photosynthesis as much of the rest of the plant is underwater.
To maximise the surface area for photosynthesis, plants increase the size of their leaves
because it have sex with the ovary and sperm cell gets in.
which of the following leaf types would be the most efficient at absorbing sunlight
Yes, banana has few leaves, but those leaves are very large. So the surface area of the leaves are basically the same as any other tree.
take in water
leaves have a big surface area because then they can absorb all the possible light energy they can for photosynthesis.
They have a large surface area so there is enough area for heat radiation.
Provide a large surface area for photosynthesis to take place. Shade and protect the stem of the plant.
