This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Leaf Structure, spongy layer is below palisade layer, stomata than lower epidermis, mesophyll consists of palisade layer, mesophyll consists of spongy layer, lower epidermis protects the inner region of leaf, palisade layer is the main site of photosynthesis, upper epidermis is ONLY one cell thick, waxy cuticle is transparent and allows light to penetrate onto the mesophyll, waxy cuticle has fewer stomata, mesophyll consists of spongy layer, spongy layer air spaces connected to stomata, lower epidermis covered by thinner layer of waxy cuticle, lower epidermis is ONLY one cell thick, mesophyll consists of palisade layer, 1-2 layers of long cylindrical thin cell wall, palisade layer has 1-2 layers, waxy cuticle protects the leaf, waxy cuticle prevents excessive evaporation, spongy layer carries out photosynthesis, lower epidermis has abundant stomata
