Photosynthesis


 * 1) Why are the palisade mesophyll tightly packed and arranged at right angles to the epidermis?
 * 2) Why are the guard cells bean-shaped?
 * 3) Name the 3 types of cells in the leaf that contains chloroplasts and 1 type that doesn’t.
 * 4) Why are stomata found mainly on the lower epidermis of horizontal leaves and not the epidermis?
 * 5) Most terrestrial plants have stomata on the lower epidermis yet many aquatic plants like water lilies have stomata only on the upper epidermis. Explain why this is so.
 * 6) What happens if I coat all the leaves of a plant with oil? Explain.
 * 7) Construct a table each to show the differences between Palisade Mesophyll and Spongy Mesophyl;l and differences between Guard Cells and Epidermal Cells.
 * 8) How is the leaf adapted for Photosynthesis?
