Mesophyll is the internal tissue of a plant leaf, excluding the vascular bundles. All mesophyll cells contain chloroplasts, for photosynthesis, which lie close to the edge of the cell to gain maximum light and gas supply. Mesophyll tissue also contains numerous intercellular spaces, which communicate with the atmosphere outside the leaf via stomata.
The photosynthetic layer of leaves between epidermal layers.
(mez´ a fill) [Gr. mesos: middle + phyllon: leaf] • Chloroplast-containing, photosynthetic cells in the interior of leaves.
the photosynthetic tissue of a leaf located between the two outer leaf tissues.
The internal non-vascular tissue of a leaf. In green plants it is in these cells that most chloroplasts are found and in which most photosynthesis occurs.
The internal tissue of a leaf between the epidermal cells; specialized for photosynthesis. Contains the palisade and spongy layer.
leaf tissue between the upper and lower epidermis, made up of parenchyma cells and often comprising two layers, palisade mesophyll and spongy mesophyll.
fleshy plant tissue inside a leaf or stem
Parenchymatous, photosynthetic cell layers within the leaf, consisting usually of palisade and spongy mesophyll tissues.
parenchyma tissue between the upper and lower epidermis of a leaf
The ground tissue of a leaf, sandwiched between the upper and lower epidermis and specialized for photosynthesis.
The spongy inner tissue of a leaf, functionally similar to the cortex of stems and roots, where the raw materials - carbon dioxide and water vapor are held during the process of photosynthesis.
Layer of leaf tissue between the epidermis layers; literally meaning "middle of the leaf". PICTURE
photosynthetic tissue of a green plant; of vegetation, characteristic of moist habitats and with soft, fairly large leaves predominating; a leaf with an area within the approximate range 20-180 sq. cm.
mezzo-Fill) Leaf tissue capable of photosynthesis located between the upper and lower leaf skin surfaces.
The part of a leaf located between the upper and lower epidermis; contains the chloroplasts and other cell organelles.
the green, photosynthesizing tissue within a leaf
photosynthetic tissue in a leaf found between upper and lower epidermis
Mesophyll is the internal tissue of a photosynthetic leaf.
