Kramer, Leaf Anatomy

Vocab. over the anatomy of a leaf

QuestionAnswer

Palisade Cells Part of the Mesophyll with the spongy layer. More column-like cells that lie just under the epidermis.
Phloem The bundles of tubes that takes sugar to other parts to the plant
Spongy Layer Part of the Mesophyll with the palisade cells. These cells, in the middle of the leaf, are surrounded by air spaces.
