Spongy mesophyll layer
Stomata
Lower epidermis
Palisade layer
The function of the thick waxy cuticle is...
To deter predators from eating the leaf
To prevent sunlight from entering the leaf
For photosynthesis
To stop too much water evaporating from the leaf
There are lots of chloroplasts in the palisade mesophyll layer because...
This provides structure and support to the leaf
This is where the majority of photosynthesis occurs
This allows storage of cell sap
This is where gases diffuse
What are the stomata?
Cells that close to control water loss
Pores in the lower epidermis of the leaf
The spongy mesophyll layer is designed for gas diffusion because...
It has a large surface area and lots of air spaces
It takes up a lot of space in the leaf
It has a small surface area and no air spaces
