Because it contains air spaces which help regulate gas exchange in leaves and because most of the chloroplast are located in the palisade layer, it is here where the
photosynthesis mainly takes place.
palisade mesophyll cells
1. closely and neatly packed cyndrical cells
2.numerous chloroplasts
3.no transport tissues present(eg. xylem and phloem)
4.has no thin layer of moisture for carbon dioxide to dissolve in
5.no large intercellular spaces
spongy mesophyll cells
1.irregular in shape
2.large intercellular air spaces for rapid diffusion of gases
3.has a thin film of moisture for carbon dioxide to dissolve in it
4.transport tissues are present
5. very little or no chloroplasts present
In dorsiventral leaves of most of dicots it is differentiated in to palisade on upper side and spongy parenchyma on the lower side, but in monocots it remains undifferentiated and such leaves are called isobilateral.
Primarily in the palisades mesophyll, but also in the spongy mesophyll
they both stink like BO
Yes of course.
It is the spongy layer inside plants.

This answer refers to the cell layers of a plant leaf: There's the outer cuticle, the upper epidermis, the palisade mesophyll cell, the bundle sheath cell (containing xylem and phloem) surrounded by spongy mesophyll cells and then the lower epidermis. Not sure if this helps...
Spongy Layer - A layer of the mesophyll. The spongy layer consists of chloroplasts and parenchyma cells, and relatively large intercellular spaces. It is far less ordered than the palisade layer, and the intercellular spaces are important in gas exchange and transpiration.
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.
It is the spongy layer inside plants.

The palisade layer contains more chloroplasts than the spongy layer and therefore photosynthesises more. Photosynthesis is the plants process of making energy and so the palaside layer makes more food (glucose) than any other layer.
