Best Answer

Palisade cells are cells found within the mesophyll in leaves of dicotyledonous plants. They contain chloroplasts, which convert the energy stored in photons to chemical energy through photosynthesis, which is made up of two main stages; the light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions. The cylindrical shape of palisade cells allows a large amount of light to be absorbed by the chloroplasts.

The palisade leaf cell provides chlorophlly to the leaf as a result photosynthesis will take place in the palisade cell.
