Cell Diversity In Plants
Palisade Cells
 Long and cylindrical – pack together closely with little space for air to circulate
 Large vacuole so chloroplasts are nearer the edge of the cell, reducing diffusion distance
 Many chloroplasts for photosynthesis
 Cytoskeleton thread sand motor proteins to move chloroplasts depending on sunlight
intensity

Guard Cells
 Chloroplasts convert light energy to ATP which is used to fuel active transport
 Actively transports potassium ions from surrounding cells into guard cell, lowering their
water potential
 Water enters from surrounding cells via osmosis causing guard cells to swell at their
flexible tips and open the stomata (gap between guard cells)
 Air enters the stomata and gaseous exchange occurs
 Stomata close at night to reduce water loss
