chloroplasts is present inside the plantcell , photosynthesis takes place in leaf.leaf contains chloroplasts now where does chloroplasts are found ?inside the plant cell or mesophyll cells. does it means mesophyll cells are plant cells.if so why they are called mesophyll cells?

Answer 1

Every plant cell is specialised for specific purposes. Not all the cells of plant conduct same functions. For photosynthesis, the special cells are only found in leaves and are called Mesophyll cells.
Mesophyll cells are found in the plant's leaves. ... In a nice organized order we find the palisade parenchyma cells of the mesophyll. These cells have a lot of chloroplasts in them, which is why they're the main sites of photosynthesis in the leaf (since chloroplasts conduct photosynthesis).
