Question
Chapter 28.3, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
Whetherthe mesophyll of a plant species that has vertically oriented leaves could be divided into spongy and palisade layer.
Introduction:
A leaf comprises stomata for the exchange of CO2 and O2 between the surrounding air and inside the leaf. Stomata are the pores that can interrupt the epidermis of leaves. The entire area of stomata consists two epidermal cells: guard cells and mesophyll.
The mesophyll is a ground tissue of a leaf. Its middle layer is located between upper and lower epidermal layers. Mesophyll consist parenchyma cells for photosynthesis. The mesophyll cells have two distinct layers: palisade and spongy.

Students have asked these similar questions
Sclerophyllous foliage leaves like those in holly, barberry (as shown), and Yucca (as shown) have many unusual features. Do they live for 1 year or longer? They are more resistant to animals that might try to eat them. Why? What type of cells do they have that most leaves do not have?
Lab 6- Vascular Plant Structures
What are the 4 main tissue types discussed (from the outline on p.127)
Know this terminology if asked to locate/identify the following: vascular cylinder, vascular
bundle, ground tissue, epidermis, palisade mesophyll, spongy mesophyll, guard cells, stoma,
xylem, phloem.
Can you determine if a plant is a monocot or dicot just by looking at the pattern of the roots?
The pattern of the veins in the leaf? The pattern of the vascular bundles in the stem?
Vascular plants evolved to have the apomorphic characteristics that enabled them
to grow with greater height and thrive with efficiency in sustaining more complex
structures.
Select one:
O True
O False
The sporophyte structure in vascular plants is dependent on the gametophyte
structure.
Select one:
True
False
The presence of lignin in the secondary cell wall structure of vascular plants acts as
a cementing agent between cellulose fibrils.
Select one:
True
False

- Please answer question 2arrow_forwardDiagram 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_forwardThe apoplast is (a) a layer of cells that surround the vascular region in roots (b) the layer of cells just inside the endodermis (c) a system of interconnected plant cell walls through which water moves (d) the central cylinder of the root that comprises the vascular tissues (e) a continuum of cytoplasm of many cells, all connected by plasmodesmataarrow_forward
- Figure 2 shows the cross-section of a eudicot root. i. Based on Figure 2, identify the structure that regulates the movement of water and minerals towards the xylem in the root. ii. Name structure of the cell membrane allows it to act as a selective barrier? iii. Predict what will happen to the transportation of water and minerals through the plasma membrane if the root was poisoned and no cellular respiration occurredarrow_forwardLook at as shown. The top three rows are labeled “Primary growth” because these are found in the primary plant body, the body of an herb. The third row of the figure has five boxes with the five types of mature tissue found in the primary plant body. What are the five tissues?arrow_forwardjust put the write answer thank youarrow_forward
- In what plant structure does photosynthesis occur? Group of answer choices (more than 1 answers can be correct) •vascular bundle •chlorophyll •stomata •epidermisarrow_forwardLigustrum leaf Describe the structure and function of the various tissues in the ligustrum leaf (epidermal layers, stomata, palisade mesophyll cells, spongy mesophyll cells). Would more photosynthesis occur in the palisade parenchyma or spongy mesophyll? Would more water evaporate from the leaf? How does the ligustrum leaf compare to the pine leaf? What is an abscission layer, and when would you expect to see one in a plant?arrow_forwardFill in the general characteristics of the three types of plant cells.arrow_forward
- The rate at which leaf litter decomposes depends on many factors, including the compounds present in the litter Which of the following compound concentrations would make leaf litter decompose at the slowest rate? O low levels of lignin O high levels of cellulose O high levels of lignin O high levels of hemicellulose high levels of both cellulose and hemicellulosearrow_forwardWhy is the cell wall important in plant design? Tabulate the differences between typical dicot and typical monocot stems with respect to the arrangement of the three tissues (dermal, vascular, and ground tissue).arrow_forwardLook at As shown. Part (A) shows the lower half of a fusiform initial (actually most fusiform initials would be much taller than this), and part (B) shows the same cell after it has divided and one of the daughter cells is developing into a xylem cell. Did the fusiform initial divide with a periclinal wall or an anticlinal wall as it went from part a to part b? Part (D) shows that the same fusiform initial has now produced a second cell that is developing into a phloem cell. Was that phloem cell produced by a periclinal or an anticlinal division of the fusiform initial? Part (F) shows the fusiform initial dividing and forming a second fusiform initial. Is this division occurring by a periclinal wall or an anticlinal wall?arrow_forward
