Light has to reach the palisade cells of a leaf. Which feature of the cells covering them makes that possible?
Բացատրություն
A covering layer that absorbed light would use it up before the sugar-making cells below ever saw any, so those covering cells stay clear and free of pigment. The idea that they photosynthesise because they face the sun is the common error: they hold no chloroplasts at all, apart from the pair of cells beside each pore.
