Which of the following descriptions of surface area of a maple leaf best explains the relationship of structure to function?
A. The surface-area-to-volume ratio of the leaf is very high to maximize C02 intake
B. The surface-area-to-volume ratio of the leaf is very high to minimize waste elimination
C. The surface-area-to-volume ratio of the leaf is very low to maximize photosynthesis
D. The surface-area-to-volume ratio of the leaf is very low to minimize loss of water
