It is close to the palisade cells
It contains chloroplasts
It has air spaces and a large surface area
It contains lots of small cells
Where in a leaf does photosynthesis occur?
In chloroplasts
In palisade cells
In spongy mesophyll cells
All of the above
Why are palisade cells arranged at the top of the leaf?
So that they are far away from the stomata
So that sugars made on photosynthesis can be transported to the phloem
So that chloroplasts are concentrated in one place
