What is the advantage of the spongy mesophyll being loosely arranged instead of being closed?

in between the spongy mesophyll cells, there are air spaces. this allows faster diffusion of CO2 into the leaf. the thin film of moisture on the spongy mesophyll evaporates in the air spaces in the process of transpiration, thus helped in transpiration pull. without the spongy mesophyll being loosely arranged, there would not be air spaces.

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.
Why does loosely packed leaves reduce heat loss?
?
What are examples of a prokaryote cell?
Prokaryotic cells are characterized by the absence of a separate, membrane-bound nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, and by DNA that is loosely arranged: not organized into chromosomes. Prokaryotic cells are bacterial cells (or cyanobacteria cells). These include; e. coli, staph. aureus, micrococcus luteus.
What is a term describing a loosely knit association of cells?
colonial
Loosely coiled fiber containing DNA and protein with in nucleus?
Chromatin
Why does the middle of the leaf (the spongy region) have loosely arranged cells?
The spaces between the spongy mesophyll cells permit gases to move around within the leaf. That is why they are loosely arranged.
The lower portion of the mesophyll usually consisting of loosely packed spherical cells?
spongy layer
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.
How are the cell of a bread mold arranged?
The cells of bread mold are loosely arranged. This is the opposite of the cells of mushrooms which are packed tightly together.
How atomes arranged in a liquid?
the atoms in a liquid are loosely packed together. they can move, but they have to move together.
Why spongy layer of cells loosely arranged?
So that the cell can breath.
Why are gasious fuels are more advantage over solid fuel?
gaseous fuel is loosely paged
What is the job of the spongy mesophyll layer?
spongy mesophyll is the air spaces in a plant that allow air to diffuse among the cells which are producing and releasing both CO2 and O2. Thus the answer is the area where gas exchange occurs
What is it called when the fibers of the spinal cord are loosely formed instead of being tightly together?
scoliosis
What does in lieu mean?
In lieu means "In place of" to "Instead of" or even (loosely) "to make up for a shortcoming"

Why is copper a good conductor of heat?
Copper, like most metals, is a good condutor of heat due to Metallic Bonding and the fact that it's Valence electrons are loosely arranged.
