What else can I help you with?
What are the loosely packed photosynthetic cells in the leaf called?
Thylakoids. Stacks of these are called granna.
Does a leaf have cells?
Yes, a leaf has cells. They have A LOT of cells
What kind of cells make the cuticle for the leaf?
The cuticle of a leaf is primarily made up of cells called epidermal cells. These cells are located on the outer layer of the leaf and secrete a waxy substance that forms the protective cuticle layer.
What is the layer of cells called on the bottom of a leaf?
The answer is no, because, on the top of a leaf there is the, cuticle, then the upper epidermis cells underneath, which you can see these, because you can see a sort of jigzaw pattern on the top of the leaf. but on the bottom of a leaf there are tiny, guard cells, a guard cell is a cell that lets in carbon dioxide to the leaf, but only on the bottom of the leaf. if you have ever wondered why a leaf is greener on the top, than the bottom of a leaf, is because, sunlight can easily reach the top of a leaf, this is called photosynthesis, but on the bottom of a leaf, it only gets sunlight from refections from the ground, because the bottom of the leaf does not have any visible contact with the sun.
What is the whole between two guard cells in a leaf called?
It's called a stoma (plural stomata) and its function is to allow carbon dioxide to enter the leaf for photosynthesis. The guard cells sre responsible for regulating the size of the stoma.
In which part of a leaf does photosynthesis occur?
in the stomata
What would you find in a cell from a leaf that you would not find in your fingernail?
Chloroplasts, which are responsible for photosynthesis, are found in leaf cells but not in fingernail cells. Additionally, leaf cells contain specialized structures called stomata that regulate gas exchange, while fingernail cells do not have this feature. Lastly, leaf cells contain large central vacuoles for storage and support, which are not present in fingernail cells.
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.
Cells in the leaves of plants contain specialized structures called chloroplasts how are chloroplasts related to the function of leaf cells?
Feature
What is the layer that protects a leaf inner cells called?
A microscopic biologic organism within an individual leaf of a branch of a tree or plant.
What is the photosynthesis cell called?
the main photosynthetic cells in a leaf are the palisade cells, they contain many chloroplasts which actually carry out photosynthesis.
What are the elongated mesophhyll cells in a leaf called?
The elongated mesophyll cells in a leaf are primarily called "palisade mesophyll cells." These cells are typically located beneath the upper epidermis and are densely packed to maximize light absorption for photosynthesis. Their elongated shape increases surface area, allowing for more chloroplasts and efficient light capture.
