Which tissue of the leaf contains chloroplast?

QUESTION: Which tissue of the leaf contains chloroplast?

ANS:

 

characteristic Description
Location ·        Upper part of the leaf just beneath the upper epidermis
Chloroplast Distribution ·        High concentration of chloroplasts within the cells.
Function ·        Primary site of photosynthesis in leaves.

·        Converts light energy into chemical energy (glucose and other organic compounds).

Cell Arrangement ·        Elongated and columnar-shaped cells

·        Closely packed together

Chloroplast Structure ·        Complex organelles containing chlorophyll pigments for capturing light energy and carrying out photosynthesis.
Light Absorption ·        Maximizes exposure to sunlight due to its position in the leaf.
Adaptation ·        Structural adaptation for efficient light absorption and maximizing photosynthetic activity in plants.
Examples ·        Broadleaf plants (e.g., maple, oak)

·        Many flowering plants (e.g., rose)
