What does the palisade mesophyll do in a 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.
What part of the leaf has air spaces to facilitate the diffusion of gases?
The region in the leaf that has air spaces to facilitate the movement of gasses is the mesophyll region. This region is composed of layers of cells.
Are spongy mesophyll in leaf?
yes :)

What 3 kinds of leaf cells contain chloroplasts?
Guard cells , spongy mesophyll layer and upper epidemic
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 the advantages of having no chloroplast in the spongy mesophyll cells?
What would be the advantages to having no chloroplasts in the cells of the spongy mesophyll? Fewer chloroplasts in the spongy mesophyll because most of the light energy is absorbed by the chloroplasts of the palisade mesophyll. ... They waxy cuticle keeps water inside the leaf cells.
What is the advantage of the spongy mesophyll being loosely arranged instead of being closed?
in between the spongy mesophyll cells, there are air spaces. this allows faster diffusion of CO2 into the leaf. the thin film of moisture on the spongy mesophyll evaporates in the air spaces in the process of transpiration, thus helped in transpiration pull. without the spongy mesophyll being loosely arranged, there would not be air spaces.
True or false spongy mesophyll are cells in a leaf?
it is TRUE
Does photosynthesis take place in spongy mesophyll cells?
yes
What are the 2 layers that the mesophyll made of?
The mesophyll is located between the upper and lower epidermis.
What do the spongy mesophyll cells do?
Trap plenty of air in the air spaces
