Why does the middle of the leaf (the spongy region) have loosely arranged cells?
The spaces between the spongy mesophyll cells permit gases to move around within the leaf. That is why they are loosely arranged.
What is the area in a leaf containing many air spaces between cells so that carbon dioxide from the stomata can pass through?
The underside of the leaf.
Why are there so many spaces among the lower leaf cells?
They are like vents for gases.
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 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.

What is the area in a leaf containing many air spaces between cells so that carbon dioxide from the stomata can pass through?
The underside of the leaf.
Spaces between cells that allow the rapid movement of air within the leaf?
inter cellular space
What are the spaces between leaf veins called?
The spaces between leaf veins are called areoles or areolae.
Explain the purpose of the air spaces in the leaf tissue?
There are large spaces in a leaf because it is for storing water and carbon dioxide which will be used for photosynthesis. The large air spaces are usually found in the spongy layer of the mesophyll.
Why are there so many spaces among the lower leaf cells?
They are like vents for gases.
How do the air spaces in the spongy mesophyll connect with the exterior of the leaf?
Through "stomas" - little gaps in the lower epidermis of a leaf. These are bordered with guard cells.
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 do you call the space between leaf veins?
The internode space. The space between the two leafe nodes. The spaces between leaf veins are called areoles.
What is the layer of the leaf that contains the large air space?
the spongy layer has alot of air spaces so gases can diffuse in and out of the leaf easily
What is the name for the spaces between leaf veins?
Doing the crossword in your newspaper??? Areole
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.
