* co2 + h2o (photosynthesis) (respiration) carbohydrate + o2. Plant has to maintain suitable temperature, the tissue has to have proper osmotic balance (for example, too watery or too salty) Most leaves are thin and flat, like a sheet of paper, high sa, low volume large surface allows you to catch more light than a little tiny leaf; also large surface area to catch. Palo verde green bark that has a bad job for protecting themselves, but can undergo photosynthesis. One adaptation to which plants evade dry season is to be deciduous.
