This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Leaf Structure, palisade mesophyll has abundant chloroplasts, photosynthesis due to high conc. of chlorophyll, light penetration & rapid diffusion of gas into chloroplasts, stomata for light penetration & rapid diffusion of gas, spongy mesophyll loosely packed irregular shaped cells, palisade mesophyll followed by spongy mesophyll, spongy mesophyll carry out photosynthesis, palisade mesophyll main site of photosynthesis, lower epidermis with abundant stomata, upper epidermis is covered by waxy cuticle, upper epidermis little stomata, palisade mesophyll 1-2 layers of closely packed cells, chloroplasts contains chlorophyll, irregular shaped cells with large intercellular spaces, upper epidermis followed by palisade mesophyll, leaf structure consists of upper epidermis, stomata regulate gas exchange and water loss, cells have thin cell wall, lower epidermis is one cell thick, lower epidermis protects inner region of leaf
