The scientists also made observations of the leaf structure of the soybean plants. Epidermis and mesophyll tissues are adapted for photosynthesis. Complete Table 2.1 by stating two structural features of each of these tissues and explain how each feature is an adaptation for photosynthesis. tissue: epidermis and mesophyll

1. feature 2. how the feature is an adaptation for photosynthesis epidermis 1. transparent / clear / no chloroplasts 2.allows light to pass through ; 1. thin / flat 2. so less cytoplasm / more light, to pass through 1. guard cells / stomata 2. allow gases to enter / leave the leaf / gas exchange mesophyll 1. contains many chloroplasts (palisade) 2. trapping light energy 1. vertically / tightly, packed / column- shaped (palisade) 2. maximise light received (by cells) / reduce number of, cross / cell, walls ; 1. contain (air) spaces / loosely packed (spongy) 2. for diffusion / movement of gases (within leaf) ;
