  2. Palisade cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palisade_cell

    Palisade cells contain a high concentration of chloroplasts, particularly in the upper portion of the cell, making them the primary site of photosynthesis in the leaves of plants that contain them. Their vacuole also aids in this function: it is large and central, pushing the chloroplasts to the edge of the cell, maximising the absorption of ...

  3. Ground tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_tissue

    Parenchyma cells have a variety of functions: In leaves, they form two layers of mesophyll cells immediately beneath the epidermis of the leaf, that are responsible for photosynthesis and the exchange of gases. [2] These layers are called the palisade parenchyma and spongy mesophyll. Palisade parenchyma cells can be either cuboidal or elongated.

  4. Leaf - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaf

    In most leaves, the primary photosynthetic tissue is the palisade mesophyll and is located on the upper side of the blade or lamina of the leaf, [1] but in some species, including the mature foliage of Eucalyptus, [5] palisade mesophyll is present on both sides and the leaves are said to be isobilateral.

  5. C4 carbon fixation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C4_carbon_fixation

    C: Vascular tissue D: Bundle sheath cell E: Stoma F: Vascular tissue 1. CO 2 is fixed to produce a four-carbon molecule (malate or aspartate). 2. The molecule exits the cell and enters the bundle sheath cells. 3. It is then broken down into CO 2 and pyruvate. CO 2 enters the Calvin cycle to produce carbohydrates. 4.

  6. Palisade (pathology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palisade_(pathology)

    In histopathology, a palisade is a single layer of relatively long cells, arranged loosely perpendicular to a surface and parallel to each other. [1] A rosette is a palisade in a halo or spoke-and-wheel arrangement, surrounding a central core or hub. [ 2 ]

  9. Spongy tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spongy_tissue

    Spongy tissue is a type of tissue found both in plants and animals. In plants, it is part of the mesophyll , where it forms a layer next to the palisade cells in the leaf . The spongy mesophyll's function is to allow for the interchange of gases (CO 2 ) that are needed for photosynthesis .
