      • In leaves, cells in the mesophyll (the tissue between the upper and lower epidermis) are uniquely suited to carry out photosynthesis on a large scale. This is due to their high concentration of chloroplasts, which are the sites of photosynthesis. More chloroplasts means more photosynthetic capability.

  2. Xylem cells run inside stems of plants from their roots to their leaves. Xylem cells die and their ends break down. This allows them to form long tubes to carry water upwards for photosynthesis.

  3. Plant leaves are adapted for photosynthesis and gas exchange. Roots absorb water and mineral ions through root hair cells and are transported up the plant by the xylem.

    • How Is The Opening and Closing of Stomata Regulated?

    Leaves are complex organs made of several layers of tissue. These are the epidermis, the palisade mesophyll layer, the spongy mesophyll layer, and vascular bundles. 1. Theepidermis is the “skin” of a leaf. Sometimes there is also a cuticle outside the epidermis. This is a waxy layer that helps prevent water loss. This is especially important in dry...

    Chloroplasts are specialized organellesthat are only found in plant cells. Chloroplasts contain thylakoids. Thylakoids are the specific structures responsible for photosynthesis. Some thylakoids float freely in the fluid that fills the chloroplast. This fluid is called stroma. But most thylakoids are in stacks called grana. A single grana is called...

    The stomata in a leaf’s surface are surrounded by specialized cells called guard cells. Guard cells regulate the opening and closing of stomata. They open by taking in water. This causes them to swell and take on a crescent shape. They close by releasing water. This causes them to shrink and take on a long, thin shape. Stomata allow oxygen (O2) and...

    Each guard cell contains a large vacuole, a nucleus and chloroplasts. Generally, when the plant senses good conditions, like bright light or high humidity, its stomata open. This happens when guard cells swell with water through the process of osmosis. The reverse happens when stomata close in poor conditions.

  5. Oct 31, 2023 · The mesophyll of most leaves typically contains two arrangements of parenchyma cells: the palisade parenchyma and spongy parenchyma. The palisade parenchyma (also called the palisade mesophyll) aids in photosynthesis and has column-shaped, tightly-packed cells.

  6. Aug 24, 2018 · These highly specialized cells allow water and minerals to flow up from the roots, while transporting the products of photosynthesis to the entire plant. Like the arteries and veins of a human, they allow the organism to specialize functions in different parts of the body.

  7. Specialised cells in plants are adapted to carry out specific functions. So what we mean by that is they have specific shapes and specific structures, including subcellular structures, that help them to carry out a specific job. Now, here are some examples of plant specialised cells. Can you name any of them?
