What is the job of the spongy mesophyll layer?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

The spongy mesophyll layer in leaves facilitates gas exchange by allowing carbon dioxide to enter and oxygen to exit the leaf. It also plays a role in storing and releasing water and nutrients for the surrounding cells.

Answer 3

Mesophyll of a green parenchyma. Cell shape diversity, chloroplast number less, level not clear, loosely arranged, intercellular space developed,like the sponge.

Mainly used for gas exchange, but also for photosynthesis.

Answer 4

The spongy mesophyll is located on the bottom/underside of plant leaves, so it has less chloroplasts and aren't as rigid as the tough mesophyll. Because of this, they have air spaces in between them, which is where the stomata and guard cells reside. Hope that helps! (I'm in passing IB Biology Higher Level with an A, so the info is legit!)

Answer 5

There are air spaces in the spongy mesophyll layer. This allows gases like carbon dioxide and oxgen to move easily between cells. This also means there's a large surface area for gas exchange - the technical phrase for this is '' they have a very big internal surface are to volume ratio''.

Answer 7

to help with buoyancy and moverment of gases i think

Answer 8

The function of the mesophyll layer is to help in the exchange of gases. It can open and close pores to let gases in and out.

Answer 9

Spongy mesophyll present in the dorsiventral leaves have plenty of air spaces for the deffusion of gases in and outside.

Answer 10

its to help it grow big and strong
