Partes de la planta: las hojas

The video explains the anatomy of leaves, highlighting their adaptation to capture sunlight and perform photosynthesis. It covers the structure of the leaf, including the blade, epidermis, and mesophyll, and describes how these parts work together to protect the leaf, facilitate gas exchange, and transport nutrients. The process of photosynthesis is detailed, emphasizing the role of chlorophyll in converting solar energy into food for the plant. The video concludes with a discussion on how the leaf's anatomy is optimized for photosynthesis.
