Author: Asger LIndberg-Nielsen



Answer:

Submerged leaves: - disected leaves: large surface area so diffusion is quicker. Also minimises water ressistance - Heterofully: Multiple leaf types. - Thin leaves: large surface area - No stomata: not sure how this helps but it does apparently. - No cuticle: Levaes can absorb nutrients directly from water. - Be able to use bicarbonate: der er meget mere bicarbonat i vand. - Aernchyma: det er luftrør basicly som gør der kan transporteres ilt fra shoot til root. Giver også boyency. - Poorly developed roots - Flexible stem
