This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Leaf Structure 26-27, water loss of the leaf, one cell thick to facilitate rapid diffusion, waxy cuticle protects the leaf, spongy layer is connected to stomata, upper epidermis cover by thicker waxy cuticle, palisade layer contain a lot of chloroplasts, transparent to allow light to penetrate, spongy layer carries out some photosynthesis, lower epidermis protects the inner region of the leaf, waxy cuticle prevents excessive loss of water, palisade layer is one cell thick, stomata than lower epidermis, lower epidermis covered by thinner waxy cuticle, spongy layer has fewer chloroplasts, waxy cuticle has fewer stomata, thinner waxy cuticle has abudant stomata, palisade layer to allow photosynthesis, rapid diffusion of OXYGEN, OXYGEN into chloroplasts, CARBON DIOXIDE into chloroplasts
