OBSERVING THE ANATOMICAL STRUCTURE OF THE LEAF

Discussion

Table  : The function of the leaf tissue

1.      The function of dicotyl leaf tissue

No.	The dicotyl leaf parts	Theirs function
1.	Epidermis tissue	Protects and covers the underlying tissue
2.	Palisade	The location of photosynthesis process
3.	Spongy tissue	The location of photosynthesis
4.	Vascular bundle Consist of: -          Xylem -          Phloem	Transport water and minerals from roots to leaves As the carries of nutrients from the leaves throughout the plant body
5.	Stoma	The place of gas exchange
6.	Cuticle layer	a waterproof epidermal layer that blocks water loss

2.      The function of monocotyl leaf tissue

No.	The monocotyl leaf parts	Theirs function
1.	Epidermis tissue	Protects and covers the underlying tissue
2.	Spongy tissue	The location of photosynthesis
3.	Vascular bundle Consist of: -          Xylem -          Phloem	Transport water and minerals from roots to leaves As the carries of nutrients from the leaves throughout the plant body
4.	Stoma	The place of gas exchange
5.	Cuticle layer	a waterproof epidermal layer that blocks water loss
6.	Parenchyma tissue	in storage, photosynthesis, and as the bulk of ground and vascular tissues
