Plant Tissues & Organs
Like animals, plants have tissues and organs designed for specific functions like transport and photosynthesis.
Can you identify the layers of a leaf?
What is Plant Tissues & Organs?
"Plant tissues, such as epidermal and mesophyll tissues, are collections of specialized cells that work together to perform functions like photosynthesis."
Which leaf tissue contains many chloroplasts and is the main site of photosynthesis?
What do stomata do?
What is the main function of phloem tissue?
Leaf Structure
Upper epidermis: Waxy cuticle reduces water loss. Palisades mesophyll: High chlorophyll for photosynthesis.
Spongy mesophyll: Large air spaces for gas diffusion. Stomata: Pores for gas exchange controlled by guard cells.
Stomata are mostly found on the bottom of the leaf to reduce water loss by evaporation.
