What are the loosely packed photosynthesis cells in the leaf called?

The loosely packed photosynthesis cells in a leaf are called mesophyll cells. These cells are primarily located between the upper and lower epidermis and are rich in chloroplasts, which enable them to efficiently capture sunlight for photosynthesis. The arrangement of mesophyll cells allows for gas exchange and maximizes light absorption.


Why are cells of the spongy layer packed so loosely together?

All plant cells respire all of the time and need to exchange gases. The main gas exchange surface in plants are the spongy mesophyll cells in the leaves. Leaves have a huge surface area, and the irregular-shaped, loosely-packed spongy cells increase the area for gas exchange even more.


How are the two types of mesophyll found in a leaf specialized for photosynthesis?

The two types of photosynthetic mesophyll are -- (i) Palisade cells which are vertically elongated cylindrical cells and (ii) Spongy mesophyll cells that are spherical green cells.


What are Tightly packed cells with large numbers of choloroplasts?

Tightly packed cells with large numbers of chloroplasts are typically found in the palisade layer of plant leaves. These cells are responsible for carrying out the majority of photosynthesis in the leaf by capturing light energy and converting it into chemical energy. The high concentration of chloroplasts allows for efficient light absorption and photosynthetic activity.


What kind of cells have chloroplasts in them?

They are photosynthetic cells. But only in eukariyotic cells

Prokaryotic cells I do not have a nuclear us so I am the result of loosely packed DNA who am I?

Loosely packed DNA can result in genes not being expressed properly.


Are loosely packed so air can move between the cells?

true


What is the largest region of the primary root called?

The largest region of the primary root is the cortex. It is made up of loosely packed parenchyma cells.


The lower portion of the mesophyll usually consisting of loosely packed spherical cells?

spongy layer


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.


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.


What is the fluid above the packed cells?

These is called the Plasma.


Do plant cells carry out photosynthesis?

yesOf course plant cells are photosynthetic. But not all are photosynthetic,only light touching cells are photosynthetic

How do cells get food and use it for energy?

Usually when cells get their food its called photosynthetic,and I don't know the rest... Sorry


What is the photosynthesis cell called?

the main photosynthetic cells in a leaf are the palisade cells, they contain many chloroplasts which actually carry out photosynthesis.
