Question

Which layer of cells has the greatest number of chloroplasts? Explain the
advantage of having more chloroplasts in this position.

Apart from the presence of chloroplasts, describe three ways in which a leaf is
adapted to carry out photosynthesis.

Answer 1

Palisade cells contain the largest number of chloroplasts per cell, which makes them the primary site of photosynthesis in the leaves of those plants that contain them, converting the energy in light to the chemical energy of carbohydrates.

Chloroplasts are plant cell organelles that convert light energy into relatively stable chemical energy via the photosynthetic process. By doing so, they sustain life on Earth. Chloroplasts also provide diverse metabolic activities for plant cells, including the synthesis of fatty acids, membrane lipids, ...

Answer 2

The palisade layer has the greatest number of chloroplasts. The advantage of this is that the palisade layer is exposed to the most sunlight, so the chloroplasts can absorb more sunlight.

The leaf has guard cells. These allow the stoma to be opened/closed which allows the flow of carbon dioxide into the leaf/oxygen out of the leaf. The leaf also has xylem cells which provides water for photosynthesis. The mesophyll layer is also adapted to provide efficient gas exchange of carbon dioxide.
