Spongy mesophyll cells are not packed so tightly together, which allows carbon dioxide and oxygen to reach the palisade cells where they are needed in photosynthesis. Spongy mesophyll cells and guard cells (see below) also get some photosynthetic action.

Hope this helped.

What 3 kinds of leaf cells contain chloroplasts?
Guard cells , spongy mesophyll layer and upper epidemic
How many layers does the mesophyll have?
The mesophyll has two layers. The outermost layer is the palisade layer that is made of tightly packed chloroplasts, and the innermost layer is the "spongy layer" that has air between its cells.
Which plant tissue in the leaves has many air spaces?
The spongy layer or mesophyll has many air spaces.
What does a spongy mesophyll do in a plant?
The spongy layer is part of a layer called the mesophyll layer, the other part is called the palisade layer. The mesophyll layer is found just below the upper epidermis and is the part of the leaf where photosynthesis happens. Photosynthesis is the process in which a plant uses carbon dioxide, water, sunlight and a chemical found in the chlorophyll it contains to make starch; a plants food source.
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.

What does the spongy layer of a privet leaf do?
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.
The lower portion of the mesophyll usually consisting of loosely packed spherical cells?
spongy layer

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 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.
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 a leaf layer that contains air spaces?
Leaves consist mostly of tissue called mesophyll, which is made up of loosely arranged cells with spaces between them. The spaces are filled with air, from which the cells absorb carbon dioxide and into which they expel oxygen.
