Leaf Parts Guard Cell

Most of the chloroplast cells are found in the

• upper epidermis
• pallisade mesophyll layer
• lower epidermis
• stomata

The water needed for photosynthesis comes into the leaves through the

• upper epidermis
• stomata
• guard cells
• xylem cells

The role of the guard cell is to

• help control the temperature of the plant
• control how much water enters the leaf
• control how much glucose is stored
• control the movement of water vapour & gases
