The palisade mesophyll is superior to the spongy mesophyll (in most leaves) which aids in photosynthesis, but also serves a "sun block" to the more sensitive cells the spongy mesophyll.

Where are the palisade mesophyll cells located?
The palisade mesophyll organ belongs to the leaf organ.
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.
What are types of mesophyll cells?
they are the objects inside a cross-section of a leaf which are loosley packed cells that give the leaf a spongy appearence.
Where in a leaf would you expect to find palisade cells?
On a leaf the palisade cells are located within the mesophyll layer. It is the layer that is closest to the upper epidermis of a leaf.
1 Is there any advantage to a leaf in having palisade mesophyll on the upper half and spongy mesophyll on the lower half?
The upper side of the leaf receives maximum sun shine and the palisade cells are full of chloroplasts to synthesize food material by photosynthesis. The lower half of the leaf containing spongy mesophyll helps in gaseous exchange and transpiration. Thus the direct sunlight on palisade mesophyll helps in getting maximum light for better photosynthetic activity and lower half of the leaf away from sunlight checks the excess loss of water through transpiration.

What does the palisade do in the leaf?
The palisade mesophyll is superior to the spongy mesophyll (in most leaves) which aids in photosynthesis, but also serves a "sun block" to the more sensitive cells the spongy mesophyll.

Is there palisade layer in maize leaf?
Maize being a monocot has isobilateral leaf hence entire mesophyll works for photosynthesis. there is no specified palisade in it.
What layer in a leaf contains the most chloroplasts?
The leaf layer containin chloroplasts is teh Spongy Mesophyll
Where is the chlorophyll in green plant?
In the thylakoid , in the chloroplasts, mostly concentrated in palisade mesophyll of a leaf.
What contains stomata palisade mesophyll and vascular tissue in the midribs and veins?
Leaf Stucture.
Where does most of the photosynthetic activity of a leaf take place?
In the spongy and palisade mesophyll, due to the large amounts of chloroplasts.

The upper side of the leaf receives maximum sun shine and the palisade cells are full of chloroplasts to synthesize food material by photosynthesis.

Thus the direct sunlight on palisade mesophyll helps in getting maximum light for better photosynthetic activity and lower half of the leaf away from sunlight checks the excess loss of water through transpiration.
What structures are found in the palisade layer in the mesophyll?
Lying just beneath the cuticle layer on a leaf, the palisade layer resides very close to the surface. The palisade layer is critical to growth because it is the layer of the leaf that contains the chloroplast.
