What is the shape of leaf cells that make food?
Palisade cells are the plant cells that make food. They are a vertically elongated shape and absorb a major portion of the light energy used to make food.
How are the two types of mesophyll found in a leaf specialized for photosynthesis?
The two types of photosynthetic mesophyll are -- (i) Palisade cells which are vertically elongated cylindrical cells and (ii) Spongy mesophyll cells that are spherical green cells.
What are the Cells in the leaf called?
roots
Where is palisade cell found?
Palisade cells are plant cells found within the mesophyll in leaves of many plants, right below the upper epidermis and cuticle. They are vertically elongated, a different shape from spongy mesophyll cells beneath them in the leaf.
Does a leaf have cells?
Yes, a leaf has cells. They have A LOT of cells
What are the loosely packed photosynthetic cells in the leaf called?
Thylakoids. Stacks of these are called granna.
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.
What is the green gooey stuff inside a leaf called?
This green gooey stuff is called chloroplasts. These are present in the leaf mesophyll, specially in the palisade cells.
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 protective substance that restricts water loss from a leaf?
There is a waxy layer called the cuticle that reduces evaporation from the leaf. It is produced by the epidermal cells of the leaf.
How do guard cells regulate the exchange of gases between a leaf and the air?
The guard cells regulate the exchange of gases between the leaf and air through the use of openings called stomatal pores.
Cells in the leaves of plants contain specialized structures called chloroplasts how are chloroplasts related to the function of leaf cells?
Feature
