What is the function of Spongy tissue?
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.
On the outside of leaves is a waxy layer to help prevent water losswhat is the name of this layer?
It is called the Epidermis
What is the job of the waxy layer?
Assuming you mean in plant life, it prevents dehydration through evaporation
Why it is that the palisadi layer is located only in upper epidermis and not in lower epidermis?
Because in leaves it is mostly the upper side facing the sun and receiving light for photolysis of water by the chlorophyll present in the chloroplasts of palisade layer cells hence the palisade layer in dorsiventral leaves is present below the upper epidermis of leaves.
What is the waxy layer on stems and leaves?
They hep store the water so it does not escape through the niddles
What is underground layer of spongy rock that holds water?
An underground layer of spongy rocks that holds water is an aquifer.
Underground layer of spongy rock that holds water is?
Water table
The plants which can store water in their spongy stem are called what?
A succulent and a cactus both store water in their spongy stem or leaves.
Does the barrel cactus have water?
The barrel cactus stores water in is spongy interior tissues but does not have a water reservoir of water.
What is the function of the waxy transparent top of layer of leaves?
The waxy transparent layer of leaves prevents water evaporation.
Why do Water lily leaves have waxy undersides?
YES! The waxy coat of the water hyacinth leaves is waterproof and covers a spongy parenchyma tissue. Together with its swollen stem, which is filled with more spongy parenchyma tissue, it makes the plant float.
What is a leaf layer that contains air spaces?
Leaves consist mostly of tissue called mesophyll, which is made up of loosely arranged cells with spaces between them. The spaces are filled with air, from which the cells absorb carbon dioxide and into which they expel oxygen.
What prevent water loss in leaves?
A waxy layer called the cuticle prevents water loss in leaves.
How are leaves involved in the root's ability to draw water into a plant?
By a process called transpiration stream. Water evaporates from pores on plant known as stoma, leaving the bottom photosynthetic layer of the leaf, the spongy mesophyll, without water. The water that has evaporated from the spongy mesophyll is replaced by water from the xylem. However, when water is pulled out of the xylem into the leaf, pressure is created in the xylem. To get rid of this pressure (kind of like a suction), more water is pulled up from lower regions in xylem.
What is the main function of the spongy layer of a leaf?
The spongy layer of a leaf, which lies beneath the palisade layer, consists of cells that are irregular in shape and loosely packed. Their main function seems to be the temporary storage of the sugars and amino acids that were synthesized in the palisade layer. The spongy layer also aids in the exchange of gases between the leaf and the environment.

Barrel cactus what are they?
A barrel cactus stores water in their spongy stem, which swells and looks like a barrel, hence the name.
