  2. Palisade cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palisade_cell

    Palisade cells are located beneath the upper epidermis and cuticle but above the spongy mesophyll cells. Palisade cells contain a high concentration of chloroplasts, particularly in the upper portion of the cell, making them the primary site of photosynthesis in the leaves of plants that contain them. Their vacuole also aids in this function ...

  3. Leaf - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaf

    Its cells contain many more chloroplasts than the spongy layer. Cylindrical cells, with the chloroplasts close to the walls of the cell, can take optimal advantage of light. The slight separation of the cells provides maximum absorption of carbon dioxide. Sun leaves have a multi-layered palisade layer, while shade leaves or older leaves closer ...

  4. File:Leaf Tissue Structure.svg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Leaf_Tissue_Structure.svg

    English: The fine scale structure of a leaf featuring the major tissues; the upper and lower epithelia (and associated cuticles), the palisade and spongy mesophyll and the guard cells of the stoma. Vascular tissue (veins) is not shown. Key plant cell organelles (the cell wall, nucleus, chloroplasts, vacuole and cytoplasm) are also shown.

  5. Ground tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_tissue

    Parenchyma is a versatile ground tissue that generally constitutes the "filler" tissue in soft parts of plants. It forms, among other things, the cortex (outer region) and pith (central region) of stems, the cortex of roots, the mesophyll of leaves, the pulp of fruits, and the endosperm of seeds.

  6. 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 ]

  7. Organelle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organelle

    In cell biology, an organelle is a specialized subunit, usually within a cell, that has a specific function.The name organelle comes from the idea that these structures are parts of cells, as organs are to the body, hence organelle, the suffix -elle being a diminutive.

  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.
