Leaf of monocotyledonous plants
The leaf of monocotyledonous plants is characterized by parallel venation and usually has a linear or lanceolate shape.
01
Guard cells
Cells surrounding the stomata, controlling their opening and closing to regulate gas exchange and transpiration.
02
Bulliform cells
Cells that enable the leaf to fold or unfold depending on moisture conditions.
03
Collenchyma
Tissue that provides flexibility and support to the leaf.
04
Cuticle
A waxy layer on the surface of the epidermis that reduces water loss.
05
Upper epidermis
The outer protective layer of cells on the upper surface of the leaf.
06
Stoma
Openings through which gas exchange occurs.
07
Sclerenchyma
Tissue that provides rigidity and strength to the leaf.
08
Vascular bundle
A complex of tissues including xylem and phloem, responsible for the transport of substances.
09
Xylem
Conductive tissue that transports water and minerals.
10
Phloem
Conductive tissue that transports organic substances.
11
Mesophyll
The main tissue of the leaf where photosynthesis takes place.
12
Lower epidermis
The outer protective layer of cells on the lower surface of the leaf.
