The palisade mesophyll, bundle sheath and spongy mesophyll are known as the ground parenchyma. There is a system of air spaces which communicate with the air chambers behind the stomata (which are like our pores). Since the mesophyll cells contain chloroplasts the tissue is also referred to as chlorenchyma . To sum it up, the functions of the Mesophyll are......... * The palisade cells are responsible for photosynthesis because they contain chloroplasts.
