Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cells in the mesophyll of the leaf have numerous chloroplasts. 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: -Leaf-blade is the expanded thin and green part of the leaf which performs photosynthesis. It is also known as the lamina.

Detailed explanation-3: -The petiole is the part of the leaf which joins it to a stem or branch. It can also be called leaf stalk. The margin of the leaf is called leaf blade. Midrib is the thick, long vein in the middle of the leaf.

Detailed explanation-4: -The leaf blade, also known as lamina, is the green, flat surface of the leaves. It consists of a small branched vein and veinlets. The leaves of the plant are generally flat, which helps it to: Be better equipped for photosynthesis-have more surface area through which they can absorb sunlight.
