  2. Palisade cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palisade_cell

    Palisade cell, or palisade mesophyll cell are plant cells located inside the mesophyll of most green leaves. They are vertically elongated and are stacked side by side, in contrast to the irregular and loosely arranged spongy mesophyll cells beneath them. Palisade cells are responsible for carrying out the majority of the photosynthesis in a ...

  3. Palisade (pathology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palisade_(pathology)

    In histopathology, a palisade is a single layer of relatively long cells, arranged loosely perpendicular to a surface and parallel to each other. [1] A rosette is a palisade in a halo or spoke-and-wheel arrangement, surrounding a central core or hub. [ 2 ]

  4. Cancer Cell (journal) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer_Cell_(journal)

    Cancer Cell is a peer-reviewed scientific journal scientific journal that publishes articles that provide major advances in cancer research and oncology. The journal considers manuscripts that answer important questions relevant to naturally occurring cancers.

  5. Leaf - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaf

    The pores or stomata of the epidermis open into substomatal chambers, which are connected to the intercellular air spaces between the spongy and palisade mesophyll cell, so that oxygen, carbon dioxide and water vapor can diffuse into and out of the leaf and access the mesophyll cells during respiration, photosynthesis and transpiration.

  6. Cell theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_theory

    From these conclusions about plants and animals, two of the three tenets of cell theory were postulated. 1. All living organisms are composed of one or more cells 2. The cell is the most basic unit of life. Schleiden's theory of free cell formation through crystallization was refuted in the 1850s by Robert Remak, Rudolf Virchow, and Albert ...

  7. Vascular bundle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_bundle

    It forms a protective covering on the leaf vein and consists of one or more cell layers, usually parenchyma. Loosely-arranged mesophyll cells lie between the bundle sheath and the leaf surface. The Calvin cycle is confined to the chloroplasts of these bundle sheath cells in C 4 plants. C 2 plants also use a variation of this structure. [1]

  8. Cancer cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer_cell

    Cancer cells are cells that divide continually, forming solid tumors or flooding the blood or lymph with abnormal cells. Cell division is a normal process used by the body for growth and repair. A parent cell divides to form two daughter cells, and these daughter cells are used to build new tissue or to replace cells that have died because of ...

  9. C4 carbon fixation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C4_carbon_fixation

    A: Mesophyll cell B: Chloroplast C: Vascular tissue D: Bundle sheath cell E: Stoma F: Vascular tissue 1. CO 2 is fixed to produce a four-carbon molecule (malate or aspartate). 2. The molecule exits the cell and enters the bundle sheath cells. 3. It is then broken down into CO 2 and pyruvate. CO 2 enters the Calvin cycle to produce carbohydrates. 4.
