Answer 1

leaf is an organ made up of different tissues

Question 2

in the top and bottom of the leaf we find ____?

Answer 2

epidermal tissue

Question 3

epidermis protects _____ of leaf

Answer 3

epidermis protects surface of leaf

Question 4

what is the upper epidermis covered in ?

Answer 4

the upper epidermis is covered in waxy cuticle

Question 5

what does the waxy cuticle do?

Answer 5

helps reduce water loss from leaf surface

Question 6

the upper epidermis is transparent, what does this do for the leaf?

Answer 6

allows light to pass through to photosynthetic cells for photosynthesis

Question 7

how is the lower epidermic specialised?

Answer 7

contains spores called stomata, which allows co2 and oxygen out

Question 8

palisade mesophyll contain what type of cells?

Answer 8

palisade cells

Question 9

palisade cells are packed full of what?

Answer 9

palisade cells are packed full of chloroplasts

Question 10

what do do chloroplasts contain and why is this important?

Answer 10

contain chlorophyll, which absorbs light for photosynthesis

Question 11

_______ mesophyll is full of air spaces?

Answer 11

spongy mesophyll is full of air spaces

Question 12

spongy mesophyll allows co2 to diffuse in through?

Answer 12

stomata -> spongy mesophyll -> palisade mesophyll

Question 13

spongy mesophyll allows oxygen to diffuse out through?

Answer 13

palisade mesophyll -> spongy mesophyll -> stomata
