What else can I help you with?
What do lower leafs cells do?
lower leaf cells is widely spaced cells allow carbon dioxide and oxygen to pass in and out the leaf
Which layer has the largest cells in elodea leaf?
The lower epidermis of the elodea leaf has the largest cell.
What are cells between the upper and lower epidermis of the leaf called?
Mesophyll In between upper and lower epidermis of leaf is mesophyll tissue. In the dorsiventral leaves, mesophyll is divisible into upper palisade cells and lower spongy parenchyma. The palisade cells are mainly involved in photosynthesis and spongy parenchyma in gaseous exchange.
Is a leaf a cell?
No, a leaf is not a cell. A leaf is an organ of a plant that is made up of multiple types of cells, including stomatal cells, epidermal cells, and chloroplast-containing cells. Cells are the basic structural and functional units of living organisms, including plants like leaves.
In which part of a leaf does photosynthesis occur?
in the stomata
Does a leaf have cells?
Yes, a leaf has cells. They have A LOT of cells
What is the transparent layer of cells on the bottom of the leaf that acts like a skin named?
The transparent layer of cells on the bottom of a leaf that acts like skin is called the cuticle. It helps protect the leaf from water loss and pathogens while allowing light to pass through for photosynthesis.
Where are cells containing chlorplasts located in a leaf?
Mesophyllic cells are the cells that lie between the lower and upper epidermal layers of leaves and contain chloroplasts necessary for the production of sugars from sunlight.
What side of a leaf are stomata located?
The lower surface of the leaf has the stomata. You can see the reason for this if you cut a leaf in half from upper side to lower side. The upper portion of the leaf consists of tightly packed cells that are full of chloroplasts for taking in light. The lower half of the leaf is made up of loosely arranged cells. This allows room for air to enter the lower part of the leaf through the stomata and contribute carbon dioxide and take away oxygen. The upper surface of the leaf is covered by the cuticle which prevents dehydration, as such the stomata cannot be located or function on the upper surface
What are the loosely packed photosynthesis cells in the leaf called?
The loosely packed photosynthesis cells in a leaf are called mesophyll cells. These cells are primarily located between the upper and lower epidermis and are rich in chloroplasts, which enable them to efficiently capture sunlight for photosynthesis. The arrangement of mesophyll cells allows for gas exchange and maximizes light absorption.
Are guard cells part of the stomata or does stomata only refer to the pore on the lower surface of the leaf?
The stomata are the pores and the guard cells control the opening and closing of these pores.
What happens when solution of salt or sugar is put on mounted Rhoeo leaf?
When a solution of salt or sugar is put on a mounted Rhoeo leaf, the process of osmosis occurs. Water moves from an area of higher concentration (inside the leaf) to an area of lower concentration (the solution outside the leaf), causing the leaf cells to shrink or swell depending on the concentration of the solution. This can disrupt the normal functioning of the leaf cells and lead to changes in their appearance.
