What is the leaf structure that is made up of ground tissue consisting of tightly packed parenchyma cells? They contain chloroplasts which are used for photosynthesis.
A
Palisade mesophyll
B
Upper epidermis
C
Stoma
D
Vascular bundles
E
Waxy cuticle
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The palisade parenchyma (also called the palisade mesophyll) aids in photosynthesis and has column-shaped, tightly-packed cells. It may be present in one, two, or three layers.

Detailed explanation-2: -leaf anatomy divided into two regions: the palisade parenchyma, located beneath the upper epidermis and composed of columnar cells oriented perpendicular to the leaf surface, and spongy parenchyma, located in the lower part of the leaf and composed of irregularly shaped cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -The palisade parenchyma tissue usually is located on the upper side of the leaf, and the spongy parenchyma on the lower side. There may be only a single layer of palisade cells perpendicularly arranged below the upper epidermis, or there may be as many as three layers.

Detailed explanation-4: -Palisade cells are a kind of parenchyma cells that contain most of the chloroplasts in plant leaves. Palisade cells are a kind of cells that absorb light required for photosynthesis.-Their function is to enable photosynthesis to be administered and performed efficiently and for that they have several adaptations.
