palisade cells
they contain the most chlorophyll
The main photosynthetic area of a leaf is composed of cells called mesophyll cells, specifically the palisade and spongy mesophyll cells. These cells contain chloroplasts, which house chlorophyll and are responsible for capturing light energy to drive photosynthesis. The arrangement of these cells maximizes the leaf's surface area exposed to light for efficient photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis - make food.
The cells of a leaf contain large numbers of chloroplasts, the part of the plant responsible for photosynthesis. The main job of a leaf is to collect sunlight which allows the plant to produce carbohydrates via photosynthesis.
The form of a leaf is typically flat and broad to maximize surface area for photosynthesis. This shape allows the leaf to efficiently capture sunlight and absorb carbon dioxide for the process of photosynthesis. Additionally, the thinness of the leaf enables gases to easily diffuse in and out of the leaf.

The most important function of a leaf is photosynthesis: the production of energy from sunlight, carbon dioxide and water. The shape of the leaf helps to maximize the sunlight receiving area and the veins in the leaf make it easier to move the raw materials and products of photosynthesis in and out of the leaf.
Leaves are the main sites of photosynthesis, and chloroplasts are the organelles in which photosynthesis takes place.
