Question

The interior tissues of a leaf are called mesophyll. In most leaves, there is an upper layer of columnar cells called the ______________________
___________________ and a lower portion of _____________ ______________ open, loose aerenchyma.  “Botany and Beyond: Leaf Structure, Layer by Layer,”  the upper layer of columnar cells, but they do not look columnar. Why not?  the box shows the lower aerenchymatous layer. Can you tell what the shape of the intercellular spaces is from this two-dimensional micrograph?
