palisade mesophyll cell Flashcards
(8 cards)
define specialisation
the process in which cells develop specific functions to carry out specific tasks within the organism
what is the structure of a palisade mesophyll cell
cylindrical shaped cell
what is the palisade mesophyll cell surrounded by
plasma membrane and cell wall
what does the cell wall and plasma membrane maintain the structure of the cell
the plasma membrane pushes against the cell wall of the plan to maintain its rigid structure
what does the palisade mesophyll cell contain
chloroplast
how is the placement of chloroplast in the palisade mesophyll cell help with photosynthesis
chloroplast placement allows the cell to absorb much energy from the light
why does the cytoplasm move around
to maximise the amount of light that is being absorbed
where is the palisade mesophyll cell found in
in a leaf
