On the surface of the spongy mesophyll cells, gas exchange occurs primarily through small openings called stomata. These cells facilitate the diffusion of carbon dioxide into the leaf for photosynthesis and the release of oxygen as a byproduct. Additionally, the spongy mesophyll's air spaces allow for the movement of water vapor, contributing to transpiration. This process is essential for maintaining the plant's internal water balance and overall health.
The region in the leaf that has air spaces to facilitate the movement of gasses is the mesophyll region. This region is composed of layers of cells.
Palisade mesophyll cells are tightly packed, contain many chloroplasts, and are located near the upper leaf surface to maximize light absorption for photosynthesis. Spongy mesophyll cells have air spaces between them to facilitate gas exchange, allowing for efficient transport of gases needed for photosynthesis. The structural features of both cell types are adapted to their specific roles in photosynthesis - palisade mesophyll for light capture and spongy mesophyll for gas exchange.
Palisade cells, spongy mesophyll cells, and guard cells contain chloroplasts in leaves. Palisade cells are located in the upper leaf epidermis, spongy mesophyll cells are below the palisade layer, and guard cells surround the stomata.
The mesophyll has two layers. The outermost layer is the palisade layer that is made of tightly packed chloroplasts, and the innermost layer is the "spongy layer" that has air between its cells.
yes
The majority of a leaf is composed of mesophyll tissue, which contains two types: palisade mesophyll and spongy mesophyll. Palisade mesophyll is located near the upper surface of the leaf and is responsible for most of the photosynthesis, while spongy mesophyll is found below and aids in gas exchange and nutrient storage.

yes :)
The palisade mesophyll is superior to the spongy mesophyll (in most leaves) which aids in photosynthesis, but also serves a "sun block" to the more sensitive cells the spongy mesophyll.

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.

The two main types of mesophyll cells found in plant leaves are palisade mesophyll cells and spongy mesophyll cells. Palisade mesophyll cells are located in the upper layer of the leaf and are specialized for photosynthesis, while spongy mesophyll cells are found beneath the palisade layer and aid in gas exchange and the storage of nutrients.
The functional tissue within a leaf that contains chlorophyll is called the mesophyll. Mesophyll cells are responsible for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert light, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose and oxygen. The two types of mesophyll cells are palisade mesophyll and spongy mesophyll.
True. Spongy mesophyll cells are found in the leaf tissue of plants and are involved in the exchange of gases necessary for photosynthesis.
The two types of mesophyll in plant leaves are palisade mesophyll and spongy mesophyll. Palisade mesophyll is located closer to the upper epidermis and consists of closely packed cylindrical cells that are specialized for photosynthesis. Spongy mesophyll is located beneath the palisade layer and consists of loosely arranged cells with air spaces for gas exchange and moisture retention.
