This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Leaf Structure(Biology), spongy mesophyll structure irregular shaped,spongy layer, waxy cuticle functions prevent excess. evaporation, stomata functions reduce water loss, upper epidermis structure one cell thick, 1-2 layers of thin cell walls consist of abundant chloroplasts, lower epidermis structure 1 cell thick, upper epidermis structure less stomata, abundant chloroplasts functions photosynthesis, irregular shaped,spongy layer consist of fewer chloroplasts, Leaf Parts consist of upper epidermis, waxy cuticle functions transparent,therefore allow light to pass through, fewer chloroplasts functions photosynthesis, 1 cell thick functions protection, stomata functions gaseous exchange, 1 cell thick consist of stomata, palisade mesophyll structure 1-2 layers of thin cell walls, Leaf Parts consist of palisade mesophyll, one cell thick covered by waxy cuticle, waxy cuticle functions protect the leaf, less stomata functions reduce water loss
