Question

Chloroplasts are found in ______ in the leaf.

Options

• Lower epidermis

• Palisade mesophyll

• Spongy mesophyll

• Both palisade and spongy mesophyll

Answer 1

Chloroplasts are found in both palisade and spongy mesophyll in the leaf.

Explanation:

These two layers make up the mesophyll tissue where most food production happens. Palisade cells are columnar and packed near the top to absorb maximum sunlight, while spongy cells are loose to allow gases like CO₂ to circulate freely.
