This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: structure of leaf_27&28, loosely packed with lots of intercellular spaces, 1-cell thick covered by thinner layer of waxy cuticle, spongy Mesophyll is loosely packed, 1-2 layers thick of closely packed, long, cylindrical cells, abundant stomata which controls water loss, upper epidermis has less stomata, intercellular spaces and thus contains less chloroplasts, closely packed, long, cylindrical cells which have abundant chloroplasts, Mesophyll can be split to spongy Mesophyll, thin-walls which allows light to penetrate, closely packed, long, cylindrical cells which have thin-walls, stomata which limits water loss, rapid diffusion of carbon dioxide, rapid diffusion of oxygen, one cell thick covered in waxy cuticle, Mesophyll can be split to palisade Mesophyll, Leaf Structure consists of lower epidermis, transparent and allows light to penetrate, spongy Mesophyll has an irregular shape, abundant chloroplasts making it the main site of photosynthesis
