Task 4c: Make notes that:
Describe the structure of a leaf.
Draw and label a leaf.
Explain how the leaf is adapted for photosynthesis. In particular:
Explain why the palisade mesophyll layer contains lots of chloroplasts
Explain why the spongy mesophyll layer has air spaces.
Task 4d: Explain how the structure of the leaf is adapted to its role in photosynthesis. Your answer should include information about the process of photosynthesis and the names and role of the specialised cells involved.
