Autumn Colors and Textures, Leaves are the primary food producing organs of a plant. They are designed to be efficient in collecting light and using that light energy to produce food.

The leaf for example has so many different parts and purposes, the large flat surface is called a Blade. It contains all the necessary parts to feed the tree or plant, sugar and water.

All these veins you see in every leaf, are designed to prevent the leaf from collapsing under its own weight. And all of the veins, help position the blade so that it is facing the light source.

If the blade was upside down, it would not work properly. They are like little solar panels producing energy. Nature is teaching again. Food and energy from the heavens.

But if you really want some interesting data, I looked up how many cells were in an average leaf. Well, being there are so many different sizes of leaves, the answer was a long one.

So I had to look up how many cells are in the human body;

According to a recent estimate published in 2013 in the “Annals of Human Biology” by an international team of researchers, it is 3.72 × 10¹³.

In other words: The human body consists of some 37.2 trillion cells. And each one has a purpose.
