Key Concepts: In dicotyledonous leaves there are two types of mesophyll cells, palisade mesophyll and spongy mesophyll. Palisade mesophyll cells form a layer beneath the upper epidermis whereas spongy mesophyll cells are internal to the lower epidermis. major role of leaf mesophyll cells is to contain large populations of chloroplasts, which carry out photosynthetic carbon assimilation facilitating plant growth. Keywords: palisade mesophyll; spongy mesophyll; airspace; bundle sheath; chloroplast. Figure 1.
