New cards
Vascular (Vein)
transport xylem - water; phloem - food
3
New cards
mesophyll
where photosynthesis occurs (also called parenchyma)
4
New cards
Cuticle
waxy covering on top to minimize water loss

what two cells are found in the mesophyll layer
Palisade and spongy
15
New cards
what is the column like cell that lies under the epidermis
palisade
16
New cards
what is the function of the stomata
to let carbon dioxide gas into the leaf
17
