Dicot leaves are generally dorsiventral, having palisade cells on the upper surface of the leaf which receives light, and lower surface has spongy parenchyma for gaseous exchange with several stomatal pores. The palisade cells are columnar with large number of chloroplasts to trap maximum light.

What is the purpose of palisade parenchyma cells?
Most of the photosynthesis in leaves occurs in these cells.
What are bifacial leaves?
Dorsiventral leaves having palisade on the upper side and spongy parenchyma on the lower side are also called bifacial leaves. These are present in most of the dicot plants.
How do the veins in a monocot leaf differ from those in a dicot leaf?
1.The monocot leaves are identical on both sides (isobilateral) where as dicot leaves are dorsiventral (i. e. having palisade cells on the upper side and spongy parenchyma on the lower side). 2. Monocot leaves generally have parallel venation and dicot leaves have reticulate venation.
What are the 2 layers that the mesophyll made of?
The mesophyll is located between the upper and lower epidermis.
How man seed leaves does a dicot have?
Dicots have 2 seed leaves.
What two types of tissue cells can make food?
Palisade and spongy parenchyma in the leaves
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 is the function of the palisade?
They absorb the light needed for photosynthesis.
How do leaves of monocot plant differ from the leaves of dicot plants in shape and venation?
1.The monocot leaves are identical on both sides (isobilateral) where as dicot leaves are dorsiventral (i. e. having palisade cells on the upper side and spongy parenchyma on the lower side). 2. Monocot leaves generally have parallel venation and dicot leaves have reticulate venation.
what are palisade cells?
Palisade cells are plant cells located on the leaves
The long narrow cells located directly beneath the upper epidermis are called palisade parenchyma cells?
True
How many cotyledons do dicots have?
Dicots is short for dicotyledons. Di- is a prefix meaning two, dicotyledons (dicots) have two seed leaves, cotyledons.
How man seed leaves does a dicot have?
Dicots have 2 seed leaves.
