The xylem is transporting water and dissolved minerals from the roots up to the leaf, while the phloem is transporting sugars made in the leaf to other regions of the plant. Draw a cross section of a mesophytic leaf, labeling each structure or tissue with its name and function.

Draw a cross-section of a mesophytic leaf, labeling each structure or tissue with its name and function. Consider simplifying the image to use as an easy reference. In the leaf you are viewing, are there more stomata on the upper or lower epidermis?
In this exercise we will consider the internal structures of the foliage leaves from several species of flowering plant leaves. We will be studying the three main tissue types in the leaf: the epidermis, the mesophyll layers (two types) and the vascular system.
Identify whether a leaf is mesophytic, xerophytic, or hydrophytic based on leaf anatomy; Predict the drought tolerance of a leaf using anatomical and morphological features; Use the process of science to ask and answer scientific questions; Collect, analyze, and interpret data

Mesophytic Leaf - Coggle Diagram: Mesophytic Leaf (Definitions, Adapted to ABSORB light, The site of photosynthesis, Adapted for Gas Exchange)
This is what a section through a leaf looks like: The large surface area of most leaves maximises photosynthesis, while the tightly packed palisade mesophyll cells contain chlorophyll to carry out photosynthesis to meet the plant’s energy needs.
