Answer:
The photosynthetic parenchyma of the leaves is known as mesophyll, which is usually divided in two types: palisade and spongy mesophyll. Palisade mesophyll is close to the upper epidermis of the leaves, where it gets more light, whereas the spongy mesophyll is in the lower and darker side of the leaves.
Explanation:
Parenchyma is not a highly specialized tissue involved in many functions such as photosynthesis, storage, synthesis and processing of many substances, and tissue repairing. In this tissue, only the parenchymatic cell type is present, which shows a thin primary cell wall. From the evolutionary point of view, the parenchymatic cell is regarded as the ancestor or precursor of the other cell types of the plant because it is not much differentiated and shows similar behavior as meristematic cells. For example, it can dedifferentiate by decreasing the thickness of the cell wall, and becomes a totipotent cell that can proliferate. Thus, parenchyma is an excellent source to produce callus (in vitro mass of undifferentiated cells that proliferate and differentiate to give an adult plant). Parenchyma is a continuous tissue in cortex and medulla of stems and roots, as well as in leaves, fruits pulp, and seeds endosperm. It can account for around 80 % of the living cells of a plant. Some parenchymatic cells are components of the vascular tissues, xylem and phloem. The ability of plant tissues to be repaired after an injury depends partially on parenchymatic cells.
