To mention: The photosynthetic ground tissue of a leaf.
Introduction: Plants are non-motile living beings that are capable of producing their own food by utilizing the sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water. They form the kingdom Plantae that includes all the plants such as trees, shrubs,
To determine: The two sublayers of the photosynthetic ground tissue of a leaf.
Introduction: Plants are non-motile living beings that are capable of producing their own food by utilizing the sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water. They form the kingdom Plantae that includes all the plants such as trees, shrubs, bryophytes, and pteridophytes. They are very useful for human beings, as they are the source of food and many other utilities. The leaf consists of various tissues. A layer of epidermis is present in the upper and lower surfaces of a leaf blade.

- Why are xylem and phloem called complex tissues?arrow_forwardWhat may be another function of the spongy layer other than photosynthesis? Also explain the cell's loose arrangement. Please explain thoroughlyarrow_forwardWhat is the special name of photosynthetic parenchyma cells? Which organelle is especially abundant in these? How does wall thinness affect carbon dioxide and light?arrow_forward
- Draw a “typical” plant cell and include all of the organelles mentioned in this chapter. Most cells have specialized functions and increased proportions ofcertain organelles. How would you change your drawing if the cell is involved in photosynthesis? Is part of a yellow or orange petal? Secretes protein-rich digestive fluid? Needs a great deal of ATP? Stores starch? Has just grown a great amount?arrow_forwardWhat cellular processes are occurring between when light strikes the leaf and the final production of starch?arrow_forwardWhat are the four major types of plant tissues?arrow_forward
- Diagram 1: Cross Section of a leaf-cells and structures. cuticle -upper epidermis palisade layer chloroplasts vascular bundle spongy mesophyll -intercellular chamber -lower epidermis stoma A possible explanation to explain the presence of the stoma structure would be that it stores extra water the leaf does not need. allows a passageway for gasses to enter and exit the leaf makes sugar needed by the cells. O maximizes the absorption of sunlight energy O O O Oarrow_forwardWhat structure is used to transport organic molecules from the leaf to other parts of the plant? Why are leaves green? How does a plant increase its biomass What is the function of the photosystemsarrow_forwardIdentify the pointed cell and its function. How is it different from other plant cell types? How can you describe the cell walls? What plant parts can you find these cells?arrow_forward
