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
Where in the leaf does almost all photosynthesis occur?
Almost all photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts, specifically in the chlorophyll molecules located in the mesophyll cells of the leaf. The mesophyll cells are located in the middle layer of the leaf, where they are well exposed to light.
Layer of a leaf where most food-making occurs?
This layer with column like cells in the leaf is palisade layer. It is clearly seen in dorsiventral leaves.
Is leaf made of cells?
A typical leaf has an outer (epidermal) layer, pores (stomato) surrounded by a pair of guard cells, middle tissue (mesophyll) where photosynthesis occurs and a vascular system that carries water and nutrients.
What layer in a leaf contains the most chloroplasts?
The leaf layer containin chloroplasts is teh Spongy Mesophyll
Which layer of the leaf most structures can be found?
The mesophyll layer is the layer with the most working structures in it, including chloroplasts. The mesophyll layer is the middle layer of a leaf between the viens and the epidermis.

What is the part of the plant in which food is made?
I think that food is made in the palisade layer of the leaf. (The middle)
What make a leaf waterproof?
The upper skin of the leaf has a layer of wax on it, called a cuticle. This makes the leaf waterproof. The upper skin of the leaf has a layer of wax on it, called a cuticle. This makes the leaf waterproof.
What is the skin on a leaf called?
The outer layer of a leaf's skin is called the waxy cuticle, or just cuticle. You could also include the next layer, the epidermis layer. Mostly, though, the leaf's skin is called the 'Leaf surface'.
Layer of a leaf where most food-making occurs?
This layer with column like cells in the leaf is palisade layer. It is clearly seen in dorsiventral leaves.
When you look at a leaf you can see the leaf's protective layer or its?
epidemis
What is the waxy layer that surrounds the leaf?
that is the thick excel layer
Which part of the leaf protects the mesophyll layer?
cuticle layer
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.
What leaf layer contaiins chloroplast?
I believe that the palisade layer has the most chloroplast, because it has the chlorophyll which absorbs sunlight.
