What layer in a leaf contains the most chloroplasts?
The leaf layer containin chloroplasts is teh Spongy Mesophyll
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.
Where is the location of chloroplast?
chloroplasts can be located in many places in a leaf.. guard cells,spongy mesophyll, palisade mesophyll, Palisade mesophyll contains the most amount of chloroplasts.... because that is where the energy from the sun is trapped, therefore the plant needs to have many chloroplasts in order to capture the light energy.. extra* the palisade cells are long and wide in order to increase the surface area of contact with the sun.. there are many air spaces between the spongy mesophyll for gas exchange..
Which part of the leaf is most active in photosynthesis?
The photosynthesis process occur in chlorophyll which is contained in structures known as chloroplasts. They give the leaves the green coloration.
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.
Where is gluconse made in plants?
glucose is made in the "palisade mesophyll cells". glucose is made by photosynthesis which takes place in chloroplasts. chloroplasts are only found in palisade mesophyll cells. hope this helps
What layer in a leaf contains the most chloroplasts?
The leaf layer containin chloroplasts is teh Spongy Mesophyll
What leaf part has many chloroplasts?
the chloroplasts aren't a part of the actual leaf. they are individual organelles found in the cytoplasm of a cell.
What is the funtion of palisade mesophyll?
Palisade mesophyll cells are tall and closely packed to absorb maximum light. They contain many chloroplasts. Most photosynthesis takes place in the palisade cells. Spongy mesophyll also captures light and makes food.
Where is the chlorophyll in green plant?
In the thylakoid , in the chloroplasts, mostly concentrated in palisade mesophyll of a leaf.
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.
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 cells form palisade tissue?
The cells that form palisade tissue are the two upper layers of mesophyll cells, the cells that contain many chloroplasts to maximise photosynthesis.
Where in the plant does photosynthesis occur?
Most photosynthesis occurs in a portion of the leaf called the palisade mesophyll. Palisade cells contain chloroplasts, which convert the energy stored in photons to chemical energy through photosynthesis.
Which part of the leaf is most active in photosynthesis?
The photosynthesis process occur in chlorophyll which is contained in structures known as chloroplasts. They give the leaves the green coloration.
The primary function of the palisade mesophyll?
Mesophyll tissue forms the bulk of the leaf. It makes up the green tissue of the leaf and consists of thin-walled cells containing chloroplasts (bits that contain the chlorphyll). In most dicot leaves the mesophyll is differentiated into palisade parenchyma and spongy parenchyma. The palisade parenchyma consists of thin-walled cells which are usually cylindrical. These cells contain large numbers of chloroplasts (used in photosynthis). The spongy mesophyll are usually ball-shaped with large intercellular spaces, but usually contains fewer chloroplasts than the palisade cells. The palisade mesophyll, bundle sheath and spongy mesophyll are known as the ground parenchyma. There is a system of air spaces which communicate with the air chambers behind the stomata (which are like our pores). Since the mesophyll cells contain chloroplasts the tissue is also referred to as chlorenchyma . To sum it up, the functions of the Mesophyll are......... * The palisade cells are responsible for photosynthesis because they contain chloroplasts. * The spongy mesophyll, together with the intercellular air spaces, allow for the interchange of gases.
