3. The Cuticle - a waxy coating designed to minimize water loss and act as a physical barrier against disease. Upper and Lower Epidermis – an outer layer which does not contain chloroplasts. Their thick walls are helpful for their protective function. Guard Cells – There are spaces in the epidermis called stoma which permit oxygen and water vapour to leave the leaf and carbon dioxide to enter. Each stoma has two guard cells around it, which regulate the opening and closing of the stomates. The structure of leaves is geared to ensure that photosynthesis takes place as efficiently as possible. Leaves are composed of a number of specialised cell types: Leaves
4. Spongy Mesophyll – active area of photosynthesis. Air spaces are between the cells and are involved in gas excange during photosynthesis. Vascular Bundles – composed mainly of xylem and Phloem. Water, minerals and other dissolved substances are conducted in the xylem, carbohydrates are conducted in the phloem. Palisade Mesophyll – these cells contain the greatest concentration of chloroplasts and is the most active area of photosynthesis.
