This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Leaf Structure, chloroplasts abundant palisade mesophyll, stomata filled with abundant lower epidermis, Leaf protect & prevent evcesssive evaporation of water waxy cuticle, spongy mesophyll below the lower epidermis, chloroplasts thin cell wall to allow light penetration & rapid diffusion of O2 & CO2 in and out of leaves palisade mesophyll, Leaf protects the inner region of the lower epidermis, Leaf regulate gaseous exchange & water loss from the stomata, waxy cuticle is covered with thick upper epidermis, spongy mesophyll above the palisade mesophyll, chloroplasts fewer spongy mesophyll, stomata air spaces connected for rapid diffusion of O2 & CO2 into & out of the leaves spongy mesophyll, palisade mesophyll transparent to allow upper epidermis, Evaporation reduces waxy cuticle, spongy mesophyll transparent to allow upper epidermis, palisade mesophyll above the upper epidermis, waxy cuticle covered by lower epidermis
