My 3 year old just asked me “what are leaves made of” and I don’t know how to answer that. What do?
In: Biology
This is a tough one, since it requires explanation of what everything is made of… I’ll do my best…
Every living thing is made up of little structures called cells. Each cell is like a tiny factory responsible for doing different things. Some make food for other factories, some help keep the others safe from danger, etc.
Leaves are made up of a bunch of those little factories, that are responsible for turning sunlight, air, and water into food for the plant, sandwiched between a couple layers of factories that keep the inside factories safe, just like our skin keeps us safe.
