Palisade mesophyll cells, located just beneath the upper epidermis of the leaf, primarily function to maximize photosynthesis. They are tightly packed and contain numerous chloroplasts, allowing for efficient light absorption. This arrangement enables the leaf to capture sunlight effectively, facilitating the conversion of light energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis. Additionally, the palisade layer supports gas exchange by allowing carbon dioxide to diffuse into the leaf.
What else can I help you with?
Why would the cells of the palisades layer have more chloroplast in them?
Palisade is present in the upper layer of the leaf that is exposed to sunlight, so it contains more chloroplast for more efficient photosynthesis.
What is the function of the plant upper epidermis?
The upper epidermis is responsible for preventing water loss by evaporation. It does this by having a waxy cuticle on the top of the leaf. The lower epidermis has stomata, which allow gases to enter and leave the leaf as a result of photosynthesis and respiration.
What is the leaf cells function?
its function is to absorb sunlight for photosynthesis
What are the function of leaf blade?
it is to carry meth into the leaf through the veins into the petiole and ending up in the roots. This makes the plant very high.
Are stomata under surface or upper surface of the leaf?
In most cases it is at the underside of the leaf, as it does not want sunlight to dry it up.
Why would the cells of the palisades layer have more chloroplast in them?
Palisade is present in the upper layer of the leaf that is exposed to sunlight, so it contains more chloroplast for more efficient photosynthesis.
What is the function of capillaries in the leaf?
function of capillaries in leaf
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.
Why are photosynthetic cells mainly on the upper side of the leaf?
The upper part of the leaf is were the most sunlight hits the leaf, so due to adaptations, chloroplasts moved to the upper parts of leaves.
What is the function of the plant upper epidermis?
The upper epidermis is responsible for preventing water loss by evaporation. It does this by having a waxy cuticle on the top of the leaf. The lower epidermis has stomata, which allow gases to enter and leave the leaf as a result of photosynthesis and respiration.
What is the function of the leaf blade?
The function of the leaf blade is to abosorb light and make food.
What are the function of the vain?
The function of the veins in a leaf is to transport food to different parts of the leaf
What side of a leaf are stomata located?
The lower surface of the leaf has the stomata. You can see the reason for this if you cut a leaf in half from upper side to lower side. The upper portion of the leaf consists of tightly packed cells that are full of chloroplasts for taking in light. The lower half of the leaf is made up of loosely arranged cells. This allows room for air to enter the lower part of the leaf through the stomata and contribute carbon dioxide and take away oxygen. The upper surface of the leaf is covered by the cuticle which prevents dehydration, as such the stomata cannot be located or function on the upper surface
What will happen if you only apply vaseline on the upper epidermis of a leaf?
The leaf would curve to the upper epidermis exposing the lower epidemis
