AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The major cells of the ground tissue are parenchyma cells, which function in photosynthesis and nutrient storage.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cells in a middle layer of leaf tissue called the mesophyll are the primary site of photosynthesis. Small pores called stomata-singular, stoma-are found on the surface of leaves in most plants, and they let carbon dioxide diffuse into the mesophyll layer and oxygen diffuse out.

Detailed explanation-3: -While epidermal tissue mediates most of the interactions between a plant and its environment, ground tissue conducts the basic functions of photosynthesis, food storage, and support.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chlorenchyma is a type of parenchyma. Its cells are green in color as they possess chlorophyll. This enables them to carry photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Ground tissue cells include parenchyma, (photosynthesis in the leaves, and storage in the roots), collenchyma (shoot support in areas of active growth), and schlerenchyma (shoot support in areas where growth has ceased).
