Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which layers of plants contain chloroplast?
A
Spongy Mesophyll
B
Palisade Mesophyll
C
Epidermis
D
Cuticle
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Palisade cells are found in the mesophyll of a leaf and their primary function is light absorption for photosynthesis to occur. The palisade mesophyll is made up of chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll and absorb light energy. Thus, the Palisade tissue of the leaf contains chloroplasts.

Detailed explanation-2: -In plants, chloroplasts are concentrated particularly in the parenchyma cells of the leaf mesophyll (the internal cell layers of a leaf).

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.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are two mesophyll layers, the spongy mesophyll layer and the palisade mesophyll layer. The palisade layer is composed of closely packed, pill-shaped cells, and contains the most chloroplasts.
