Spongy Layer - A layer of the mesophyll. The spongy layer consists of chloroplasts and parenchyma cells, and relatively large intercellular spaces. It is far less ordered than the palisade layer, and the intercellular spaces are important in gas exchange and transpiration.

What is beneath the palisade layer of a leaf?
It is the spongy layer inside plants.
What is a privet leaf?
a privet leaf is leaves that stick insects eat !
A layer of cells in a leaf involved in gas exchange?
The exchange of oxygen occurs in the spongy layer. When light hits the spongy layet it will open which releases the oxygen and lets carbon dioxide in.
What are th four layers of cells found on plants?
This answer refers to the cell layers of a plant leaf: There's the outer cuticle, the upper epidermis, the palisade mesophyll cell, the bundle sheath cell (containing xylem and phloem) surrounded by spongy mesophyll cells and then the lower epidermis. Not sure if this helps...
What is the middle layer of a leaf?
The spongy mesophyll and pallisade mosophyl layers form the middle layers of the leaf. The pallisade mesophyl contains many tightly packed cells which do photosynthesis. The spongy mesophyl contains mainly hollow space, allowing for gas exchange.
What is beneath the palisade layer of a leaf?
It is the spongy layer inside plants.
What is the purpose of the spongy layer in a plant leaf?
The spongy layer in a plant leaf facilitate better gaseous exchange for photosynthesis and respiration.
Is the spongy layer of a leaf responsible for storage and gas exchange?
yes.
What is the layer of the leaf that contains the large air space?
the spongy layer has alot of air spaces so gases can diffuse in and out of the leaf easily
What 3 kinds of leaf cells contain chloroplasts?
Guard cells , spongy mesophyll layer and upper epidemic
What is a privet leaf?
a privet leaf is leaves that stick insects eat !
What is the main function of the spongy layer of a leaf?
The spongy layer of a leaf, which lies beneath the palisade layer, consists of cells that are irregular in shape and loosely packed. Their main function seems to be the temporary storage of the sugars and amino acids that were synthesized in the palisade layer. The spongy layer also aids in the exchange of gases between the leaf and the environment.
Where in the lieaf are most chloroplsts are found?
In a leaf,a most of the chloroplasts are found in the upper epidermis layer. A leaf has four distinct tissue layers, upper epidermis, lower epidermis, spongy layer, and palisade layer.
What is the biology term for the middle layer of the leaf?
There are 4 layers to the typical leaf; the upper epidermis, palisade layer, spongy layer and lower epidermis. ref http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/Biology/Pages/L/Leaf.html
Why spongy layer of cells loosely arranged?
So that the cell can breath.
Why does the palisade layer of a leaf produce more food than the spongy layer?
The palisade layer contains more chloroplasts than the spongy layer and therefore photosynthesises more. Photosynthesis is the plants process of making energy and so the palaside layer makes more food (glucose) than any other layer.
What layer in a leaf contains the most chloroplasts?
The leaf layer containin chloroplasts is teh Spongy Mesophyll
