What cells are primarily found in the mesophyll used for photosynthesis and storage?
A
Collenchyma
B
Sclerenchyma
C
Parenchyma
D
Sieve Tube Cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The mesophyll generally is differentiated into columnar palisade parenchyma cells and irregularly shaped spongy parenchyma cells. The palisade parenchyma tissue usually is located on the upper side of the leaf, and the spongy parenchyma on the lower side.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mesophyll tissue is made up of parenchyma cells and has chloroplasts. Such parenchyma with chloroplasts is called chlorenchyma and it performs photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -The palisade mesophyll layer is where most of the photosynthesis occurs in the leaf. The palisade cells contain a lot of chloroplasts to help them perform this photosynthesis. The palisade cells are closely packed together to maximize light absorption.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chlorenchyma tissue is a variation to the parenchyma cells. They make up the mesophyll cells in the leaf.
