The spongy mesophyll and pallisade mosophyl layers form the middle layers of the leaf. The pallisade mesophyl contains many tightly packed cells which do photosynthesis. The spongy mesophyl contains mainly hollow space, allowing for gas exchange.

Where in a leaf would you expect to find palisade cells?
On a leaf the palisade cells are located within the mesophyll layer. It is the layer that is closest to the upper epidermis of a leaf.
What is the outer layer of the leaf called and what are its functions?
The outer layer of a leaf is called the epidermis (from a Greek word meaning "over-skin"). Its function is to protect the insides of the leaf, which carry out the chemical reaction known as photosynthesis.
What is beneath the palisade layer of a leaf?
It is the spongy layer inside plants.
Where most photosynthesis takes place in the leaf?
it happens in the plant cells, i believe in the chloroplast. Also, the most sunlight would hit the top layer of the leaf.
What structures are found primarily in the palisade layer of the mesophyll?
Lying just beneath the cuticle layer on a leaf, the palisade layer resides very close to the surface. The palisade layer is critical to growth because it is the layer of the leaf that contains the chloroplast.
Which layer of the leaf most structures can be found?
The mesophyll layer is the layer with the most working structures in it, including chloroplasts. The mesophyll layer is the middle layer of a leaf between the viens and the epidermis.
What is the biology term for the middle layer of the leaf?
There are 4 layers to the typical leaf; the upper epidermis, palisade layer, spongy layer and lower epidermis. ref http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/Biology/Pages/L/Leaf.html
Where in the leaf does almost all photosynthesis occur?
Almost all photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts, specifically in the chlorophyll molecules located in the mesophyll cells of the leaf. The mesophyll cells are located in the middle layer of the leaf, where they are well exposed to light.
What is the part of the plant in which food is made?
I think that food is made in the palisade layer of the leaf. (The middle)
What make a leaf waterproof?
The upper skin of the leaf has a layer of wax on it, called a cuticle. This makes the leaf waterproof. The upper skin of the leaf has a layer of wax on it, called a cuticle. This makes the leaf waterproof.
What is the skin on a leaf called?
The outer layer of a leaf's skin is called the waxy cuticle, or just cuticle. You could also include the next layer, the epidermis layer. Mostly, though, the leaf's skin is called the 'Leaf surface'.
Layer of a leaf where most food-making occurs?
This layer with column like cells in the leaf is palisade layer. It is clearly seen in dorsiventral leaves.
When you look at a leaf you can see the leaf's protective layer or its?
epidemis
What is the waxy layer that surrounds the leaf?
that is the thick excel layer
Which part of the leaf protects the mesophyll layer?
cuticle layer
Where in a leaf would you expect to find palisade cells?
On a leaf the palisade cells are located within the mesophyll layer. It is the layer that is closest to the upper epidermis of a leaf.
What leaf layer contaiins chloroplast?
I believe that the palisade layer has the most chloroplast, because it has the chlorophyll which absorbs sunlight.
