A leaf has a lot of chloroplast's, in the palisade cells, which is the second layer right under the upper epidermis A leaf is naturally thin to allow efficient diffusion of â¦ substances such as carbon dioxide and water The wax layer on top of the leaf is transparent.he Chlorophyll is in the top palisade layer closer to the light so it can absorb lots of light energy for photosynthesis. The upper epidermis is also transparent which also helps the light to reach the chlorophyll. + 17 others found this useful.
