New cards
2

What specialized cells in the leaf are responsible for trapping sunlight?

Palisade mesophyll cells are specialized for trapping sunlight and are rich in chlorophyll.

New cards
3

What is the role of stomata in the leaf?

Stomata are small pores that allow carbon dioxide to enter the leaf for photosynthesis.

New cards
4

How is the gas exchange regulated in the leaf?

Guard cells control the opening and closing of stomata to regulate gas exchange.

New cards
5

What part of the leaf brings water from the roots?

The xylem, part of the vascular bundle, transports water from the roots to the leaf.

New cards
6

What is the waxy coating that provides a protective layer to the leaf?

The cuticle is the waxy coating that seals the leaf to prevent water loss and protect against intruders.

New cards
7

What are the two types of mesophyll cells in the leaf?

The two types are palisade mesophyll (for photosynthesis) and spongy mesophyll (for gas exchange).

New cards
8

How do leaves vary in shape and size?

Leaves come in various shapes and sizes, but most have the same essential parts for photosynthesis.

New cards
9

What is the main product of photosynthesis that leaves create?

Leaves produce glucose (sugar) and oxygen during photosynthesis.

New cards
10

What does the vascular bundle in a leaf consist of?

The vascular bundle includes xylem for water transport and phloem for sugar transport.
