   What is a leaf cell?

   • A leaf cell, by definition, is any cell found within a leaf. However, there are many different kinds of leaf cell, and each plays an integral role in the overall function of the leaf and the plant itself. A single leaf cell may be designed to simply photosynthesize, or create sugars from the energy in light.

   What is a leaf in a plant?

   • Leaf, any usually flattened green outgrowth from the stem of a vascular plant. Leaves are the primary sites of photosynthesis and manufacture food for plants. They are an integral part of the stem system and can be modified into a variety of other plant organs.

   What is the last type of leaf cell?

   • The last type of leaf cell is not specific to the leaf, as it travels the entire length of the plant. The cells around the xylem and phloem together make the vascular bundle. These highly specialized cells allow water and minerals to flow up from the roots, while transporting the products of photosynthesis to the entire plant.

   What is the function of leaves in a plant cell?

   • They are the site of photosynthesis in plants, producing food. For cellular functions like photosynthesis and respiration, leaves require several cells and tissues to work in coordination. Different plant cell types form three main types of tissues in leaves.

   What is the structure of a leaf?

   • A typical leaf has an outer (epidermal) layer, pores (stomata) surrounded by a pair of guard cells, middle tissue (mesophyll) where photosynthesis occurs and a vascular system that carries water and nutrients. Life on Earth depends on the process of photosynthesis, which happens inside the cells of the humble leaf.

   What type of cells make up a central leaf?

   • The central leaf, or mesophyll, consists of soft-walled, unspecialized cells of the type known as parenchyma. As much as one-fifth of the mesophyll is composed of chlorophyll-containing chloroplasts, which absorb sunlight and, in conjunction with certain enzymes, use the radiant energy in decomposing water into its elements, hydrogen and oxygen.
