Question

What is Mesophyll and epidermis which is present in the leaf​

Answer 1

Answer:

The epidermis is one layer thick, but may have more layers to prevent transpiration. The cuticle is located outside the epidermis and protects against water loss; trichomes discourage predation. The mesophyll is found between the upper and lower epidermis; it aids in gas exchange and photosynthesis via chloroplasts.

Answer 2

The epidermis consists of the upper and lower epidermis; it aids in the regulation of gas exchange via stomata.

The epidermis is one layer thick, but may have more layers to prevent transpiration.

The cuticle is located outside the epidermis and protects against water loss; trichomes discourage predation.

The mesophyll is found between the upper and lower epidermis; it aids in gas exchange and photosynthesis via chloroplasts.

The xylem transports water and minerals to the leaves; the phloem transports the photosynthetic products to the other parts of the plant.

Plants in cold climates have needle-like leaves that are reduced in size; plants in hot climates have succulent leaves that help to conserve water.

Key Terms

trichome: a hair- or scale-like extension of the epidermis of a plant

cuticle: a noncellular protective covering outside the epidermis of many invertebrates and plants

mesophyll: the inner tissue (parenchyma) of a leaf, containing many chloroplasts.
