Because you cannot live in them. For instance, if they were packed tightly together, they would be called apartments. My question is why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?

Why are cells of the spongy layer packed so loosely together?
All plant cells respire all of the time and need to exchange gases. The main gas exchange surface in plants are the spongy mesophyll cells in the leaves. Leaves have a huge surface area, and the irregular-shaped, loosely-packed spongy cells increase the area for gas exchange even more.
The lower portion of the mesophyll usually consisting of loosely packed spherical cells?
spongy layer
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.
Why are the cells of the palisades layer packed so tightly togehter?
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.
What spongy tissue holds your bones together?
A spongy tissue in bones is inside the bones and it makes red blood cells.
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 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 does spongy bone produce?
what anchors the endosteum to the superficial surface of a bone
Are epithelial cells packed closely together?
Yes.
What type of cells are compacted Palisade or Spongy - EXPLAIN?
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.

Where is the spongy layer located?
they are exactly spongy bones but spongy bone cells wich are located in long bones.
