Elongated cells carrying large number of chloroplasts
Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll pigments to absorb light
The plaside cells are perpendicular to the upper epidermis to obtain maximum light intensity

Question 8

Spongy mesophyll

Answer 8

They contain chloroplasts,but not as many as in palisade cells
Cells are loosely packed having air gaps in between which provide large surface area for gas exchange

Question 9

Lower epidermis

Answer 9

Contains stomata to allow diffusion of gases during photosynthesis and respiration
Contains Guard cells which control opening and closure of the stomata
