Why is a palisade cell specialised?

Answer 1

Palisade mesophyll is the top layer of mesophyll, and it has the most exposure to the sun. It differs from the structure of spongy mesophyll in that it is tightly packed and arranged almost geometrically. This is to optimize the collection of light, and maximize the surface area that is exposed to light. There is also a tiny gap between each cell to allow water through (by capillary action) as well as CO2. Palisade cells also have the most chloroplast. Sun-loving plants tend to have a thicker palisade layer. Palisade cells show various adaptations: first, their cylindrical shape, which allows maximum absorption of light by chloroplasts.

Answer 2

Palisade cells are plant cells located under the upper epidermis of a leaf. They're specialized for photosynthesis. Palisade cells are tall with a lot of surface area, which, combined with the fact that they're right under the upper epidermis, makes their structure ideal for absorbing carbon dioxide and sunlight, which are very important for photosynthesis.

Answer 3

Because it has lots of chloroplasts containing chlorophyll which absorb light energy from the sun

Answer 4

Palisade cells are cylindrical and elongated in shape. This allows for light to be captured and for it to be absorbed by chloroplasts.

Answer 5

they occur in cells
