plant adaptations

• Tissues:

  • Mesophyll

  • Epidermal

  • Phloem and xylem
• Epidermal tissues surround the plant and stop it from getting harmed by pathogens and some insects. They can be poisonous.
• Mesophyll tissue is where most of the photosynthesis happens.

  • Palisade mesophyll are at the top of the leaf to absorb maximum sunlight. They contain chloroplasts.

  • Spongy mesophyll where carbon dioxide diffuses in. They have large air pockets.

  • Stomata let carbon dioxide diffuse into the leaf for photosynthesis and let water out into the atmosphere.
