Mesophyll tissue is made up of two types of cells: palisade parenchyma cells and spongy mesophyll cells. Palisade parenchyma cells contain many chloroplasts, while spongy mesophyll cells have more empty space, though they also contain chloroplasts....
Carbon fixation is the step in photosynthesis where carbon dioxide is converted into a sugar molecule that plants can use to make glucose. Carbon fixation can be tricky in hot, dry climates where plants want to keep the stomata, openings that allow carbon dioxide into ...
Turgor pressure, also known as hydrostatic pressure, occurs in plants due to the osmotic flow of water. Water flows from areas of low solute concentration to areas of high concentration, increasing the turgor pressure in the areas to which it flows....
