Dictionary » M » Mesophyll Mesophyllmesophyll (Science: plant biology) tissue found in the interior of leaves, made up of photosynthetic (parenchyma) cells, also called chlorenchyma cells. Consists of relatively large, highly vacuolated cells, with many chloroplasts. Includes palisade parenchyma and spongy mesophyll. The internal [[tissue of a plant, barring the vascular bundles. ![]()

Results from our forumPhotosynthesis questionin C4 photosynthesis, does carbon fixation take place in the mesophyll and then transferred to the bundle-sheath cells where CO2 is released for entry into the Calvin Cycle? Or have I got this all wrong? Thanks

C4 and photorespiration... the enzyme PEP carboxylase first fixes CO2 onto Phosphoenolpyruvate(PEP) to give phosphate and oxaloacetate which is then reduced to malate in the mesophyll cell. then the malate goes to the bundle sheath cell, where it is "broken down" back to CO2. the CO2 can then be fixed by Rubisco ...

Hydrenchyma... makes sense since Nymphaea is a water lily of some sort. however, all the anatomical features I was able to identify were spongy and palisade mesophyll, along with some empty space that functions in gas storage and maybe floating. in what part of the leaf is the hydrenchyma located?
