Is the palisade layer where most photosynthesis in a leaf occur?
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 plants, 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 - the organelle used for capturing light and subsequesnt photosysnthesis.The spongy prenchyma, however, contains far fewer chloroplasts, so its main function is not photosynthesis. The spongy parenchyma has an open and net-like structure with large inter-cellular spaces that facilitate gas diffusion. The major function of the spongy parenchyma is the transport of oxygen, carbon-dioxyde and water vapour. It also is involved in the transport of water and the products of photosynthesis, the sugars. The spongy parenchyma is in close connection with the vascular bundles and the palisade parenchyma. When no clear differentiation exists between palisade and spongy parenchyma, the tissue is called mesophyll.Read more: http://wiki.answers.com/Why_is_the_palisade_layer_where_most_photosynthesis_occur#ixzz18UOwDLzu
What cells have chloroplasts filled with chlorophyll?
Plant Cell
Ozone layer in the upper atmosphere is diminishing most over what country?
It is diminishing most near the south pole. Australia is the country.
What layer can you find magma in?
Most magma is foound in upper portions of the mantle near plate boundaries or at hot spots, but some is found in the crust in magma chambers.
What layer is the ozone near?
The ozone is near or inside the stratospheric region. It is in the form of ozone layer.
Is it true that the earth was protected by water near the ozone layer?
No, there was no water near the ozone layer. The ozone layer has been protecting from the UV on it's own.
Where can you buy staphylococcus epidermis bacteria non pathogenic?
Where can I buy staphylococcus epidermis bacteria non patholgenic for a science fair project?? I live near Dallas, TX PLEASE TELL ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is it so warm near the ozone layer?
Ozone depletion causes global warming. Thus it is warm near the layer.
What does canopy layer mean?
The top layer of a forest near the tops of the trees.
What is the density of the exosphere?
The exosphere is the upper layer of the atmosphere. The exosphere has a very low density, due to the lighter gases that are present in the exosphere. Hydrogen, with some helium, carbon dioxide, and atomic oxygen is found near the exobase. he exosphere is the last layer before outer space.
What is the cloud layer near the ground?
Fog
What Is the process that plants use to make energy from sunlight?
Since most of the plant's photosynthesis occurs in its leaves, let's examine their set up. The epidermis is one celled thick and transparent. This allows the light to penetrate into the lower levels. The next layer is the palisade mesophyll. These cells are thin and elongated. They contain the chloroplasts that carry on photosynthesis. They are stacked like boards on a picket fence. So there are many of them rreadyto absorb the incoming light. Also the chloroplasts circulate like a ferris wheel so each one can get the maximum amount of light. Below them we find the xylem and phloem in the form of veins. These bring in the water needed for photosynthesis and take away the food that is produced. Along with them is an area of llooselypacked cells called the spongy mesophyll. They are also capable of carrying on photosynthesis and allow the water vapor and carbon dioxide to circulate near the ppalisade mesophyll. The bottom layer contains openings called stomata which let in the carbon dioxide and let out the oxygen.
