The spongy layer in a plant leaf facilitate better gaseous exchange for photosynthesis and respiration.
It is the spongy layer inside plants.
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.
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.
yes.
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 spongy layer has alot of air spaces so gases can diffuse in and out of the leaf easily
Guard cells , spongy mesophyll layer and upper epidemic
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.
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.
Stomata and parenchyma cells, columnar ans spongy
Stomata and parenchyma cells, columnar ans spongy
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...
