plant cells Flashcards
1
Q
palisade cells
A
long cylindrical, the cells are packed together- CO 2 can diffuse in easier
large vacuoles will push the chloroplasts up-this reduces the diffusion distance for CO2
many chloroplast- more phtosynthesis
cytoskeleton threads and motor proteins -move chloroplasts to the upper layer so more sunlight
