Parenchyma 5 of 5

Question 5

Palisade parenchyma and spongy parenchyma are found in a leaf. What do both of them do?

The right answer is the one marked above.

Carry out photosynthesis, because both contain chloroplasts. They are two arrangements of the same tissue — palisade cells tall and upright near the upper surface, spongy cells looser with air spaces below.

Transporting food is the job of phloem, and supporting a leaf blade is done by the collenchyma in its veins.
