Roots and spongy mesophyll
|
Detailed explanation-1: -In leaves, cells in the mesophyll (the tissue between the upper and lower epidermis) are uniquely suited to carry out photosynthesis on a large scale. This is due to their high concentration of chloroplasts, which are the sites of photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-2: -The mesophyll can be further broken down into two layers, the palisade layer and the spongy layer, both of which are packed with chloroplasts, the factories of photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-3: -However, the palisade cells usually contain more chloroplasts than the spongy cells.
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The palisade mesophyll layer of the leaf is adapted to absorb light efficiently.
