Question
Chapter 7, Problem 3DQ
Summary Introduction
To write:
Whether there is any advantage to a leaf in exhibiting palisade mesophyll on the upper half and spongy mesophyll on the lower half.
Introduction:
The cells found in the leaf's mesophyll are known as palisade cells, and their prime activity is to do absorption of light so that the process of photosynthesis can occur. The palisade mesophyll comprises chloroplasts with chlorophyll, which captivates the light energy. The mesophyll layer is formed of the spongy parts and the palisade cells.
