Palisade
Packing palisade cells tightly together means that the maximum amount of light can be intercepted. If there are big gaps between the cells then more of the light hitting the leaf will just pass straight through. Tightly packed palisade cells is one way in which leaves are adapted for photosynthesis.

What part of the leaf can you find chlorophyll?
In the palisade cells, spongy cells, and guard cells.
What are the spongy cells in plants do?
They do some photosynthesis, however not as much as palisade cells.
What are cells between the upper and lower epidermis of the leaf called?
Mesophyll In between upper and lower epidermis of leaf is mesophyll tissue. In the dorsiventral leaves, mesophyll is divisible into upper palisade cells and lower spongy parenchyma. The palisade cells are mainly involved in photosynthesis and spongy parenchyma in gaseous exchange.
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 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 are types of mesophyll cells?
they are the objects inside a cross-section of a leaf which are loosley packed cells that give the leaf a spongy appearence.
What is spongy mesophyll layer?
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.
What is a layer of cells that lies below the palisade layer and has many air spaces?
Spongy Layer
What Is the dfference between paliside and spongy?
The palisade layer of cells is tightly packed, like a brick wall, and contains the greatest concentration of chloroplasts in the leaf. The spongy mesophyll is loosely packed, containing many air spaces between the cells. The mesophyll contains vascular bundles and fewer chloroplasts than the palisade. Simply put, the palisade's main purpose is photosynthesis, and the spongy's gas exchange.
What two types of tissue cells can make food?
Palisade and spongy parenchyma in the leaves
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.
Which of these plant cells would have the highest concentration of oxygen on a bright sunny day a. epidermal cell b. palisade cell c. spongy cell d. guard cell?
It would be the palisade cells.
